- BofA recently took over a bank in Oregon (Oregon State Bank, I think). OSB
- had a automated transaction handling system, teller terminals, (what were
- at the time of installation) supermicros at each office, links to the
- main MIS center, the whole bit. (Some guys sitting about 100 feet from
- my cubicle designed, wrote software for, and installed it.)
-
- When BofA took over, they threw it all out. BofA doesn't use teller
- terminals and such things. They use a manual system.

- The Financial Systems/Field Service people agree with you.
