The brail is on the drive thru ATM's because it is the same key pad face plate that is used on inside ATM's at malls etc. It is cheaper for the manufacturer use the same plate than to make 2 seperate die plates for each key pad plate.

hows this:
kobi,
lets say you are in an office on monday and someone says 'the meeting will be on the second floor, in the front conference room, next wednesday.'
if that was all you had to consider as far as the date is concerned, would you think the meeting would be held:
a) two days later, which in fact would be the next wednesday that would happen, or
b) a week from 2 days later which would be the 'next' wednesday, after 'this coming' wednesday.
bottom line is, when is next wednesday?
if you answer this, maybe i can advance, earn a higher salary, and in turn buy another motorcycle to replace the one i sold, and rolled into a nice snowblower.

OK, this is a multidimensional answer . . . part will answer the question in the strictest sense and another will answer it in the practical sense . . .
First, you ask:
"if that was all you had to consider as far as the date is concerned, would you think the meeting would be held:"
Just know, it doesn't matter what I think, it matters what is . . .
that said, you ultimately ask:
"bottom line is, when is next wednesday?"
OK . . . in the strictest sense of the word, (assuming that today is Monday), NEXT Wednesday is not the day after tomorrow (that would be THIS Wednesday), but rather a week from the day after tomorrow.
So, it being strictly a matter of semantics . . .
day after tomorrow = THIS Wednesday
the Wednesday after this wednesday is the NEXT Wednesday.
OK . . . that answers when is NEXT Wednesday . . .
HOWEVER . . . just becasue that's what something is, doesn't mean that the moron who used the term actually understands what she/he said. The dufus saying "next" Wednesday may have meant "this" Wednesday but wasn't smart enough to know what they were talking about...
THEREFORE . . . if you want to advance, and get that motorcycle, cover yourself. Be prepared for the meeting as if it were the day after tomorrow and then go to the confrence room and see if everyone else was under the impression that "next" actually meant "this". If everyone is there and the meeting is on, you're GOLDEN! You're covered, you're looking good!
If, on the other hand, you go to the confrence room and no one is there, you're still covered, and you've got an extra week to polish your presentation (or whatever it is you do at such meetings).
Either way, regardless of how THEY interpret what NEXT Wednesday means, you come out winning . . . and get that new bike . . . only this time we can only hope you don't drop it into a Zamboni - or whatever it was.
Good luck
Kobi-

My guess would be a week and 2 days.
If it had been in two days then they would have said "this" Wednesday.
But next Wednesday means you have to get through the first Wednesday first. But then you have to take into consideration the intelegence of the person giving you this information and to them "Next Wednesday" could be the next Wednesday comeing up. So at that timeif that was the case then it would be in two days.
Edited to Add:
DANG IT TO HECK!!!
kobi must type faster than me cause he beat me to it!
Great minds think a like though.

What is this? Jeopardy?
Aside from the fact that it appears to be the screen name of some weirdo on a UK Singles site

(You've gotta love Google)
I have no idea.
That wouldn't be you listed there on that site, would it? (The UK connection is suspicious!)
