Maikeurosopeuteu

It's surprising and alarming how many things here seem to be running on Microsoft Windows software.

In my report on the Yeon-Go Jeon (aka Go-Yeon Jeon), I showed you this picture of the big electronic scoreboard in center field:


It turns out that the ATM machine in our classroom building is also running on Windows. It was hard to get a good picture because of the glare of the flash off the screen, but I think you'll get the idea:


I haven't tried to read the error message -- it's long and, when there's a line of people behind you waiting to withdraw money, you can't really pull out a dictionary and start translating.

There's a note posted on the wall above the ATM saying to just ignore the error message. And, in fact, the machine seems to work fine.
