UesufYusuf, agree on the design of the machines. One at M&S I used some time
back was the best tactilely. although I cannot afford to shop there often!
If you ask me its a case of arriving at a good design then letting the EU do
its worst in mandating it!

: Steve, I agree with you to a certain extent. However, I think that there

: use, for example standard keypads, louder tones to indicate that buttons
: have been pressed (I for one have thought that I had entered my PIN to find
: that a button had not been recognised when I pressed it) and given the
: simplicity of the technology I don't see why speech could not have been

: you the upcoming ID card scheme might be ideal for it except it won't be
: compulsory.
