Yeah, it might work ... the only problem is taping the camera without being seen ... and without leaving fingerprints on the area near the camera. Fingerprints on the keys are probably ok cuz so many people used them ... but hardly anyone touches the camera. Or you can wear gloves.

nothing's really happened since 2 days ago, the error message has gone away or been covered by a window.
the most odd thing is that on these pictures you can clearly see the word "business" superimposed onto the screen! now i SWEAR this was not there when i took the picture! maybe there really is a ghost in this machine!
edit: and while we're at it, i haven't actually touched this machine. i have no idea if pushing the buttons will do anything. i am sure other people have been trying it though.
you'd think the bank would have some sort of remote admin console telling them their applications not running, or at the very least they should be able to see that nobody's been drawing any money out. surely this very tool is what triggers them to go and fill it up with more money again!

It could be just a shitty old CRT screen that has displayed the word BUSINESS for so long it has burned-in to the screen ... it's rare, but not improbable considering the fact that it has been there forever. Or it could be some type of security watermark to prevent you from redistributing pictures taken of the machine's screen (I know, this is probably not the case ... so go with the burn-in theory) :D
