    Because otherwise, it would be DISCRIMINATION or PREJUDICE against people who can read BRAILLE or legally cannot see. Blind people can also walk, sir. :eek:

    The majority of states allow you to drive even though you are legally blind.

    Cheaper to make one style number pad? There are more ATMs that aren't drive through than are.

    Because sometimes blind people get driven to the ATM. I'm amazed this continues to confuse people.

    better question

    why are the numbers on the phone oriented as:
    1 2 3
    4 5 6
    7 8 9
    * 0 #

    but on your keyboard number pad:
    7 8 9
    4 5 6
    1 2 3
    0 .

    this is crazy when i'm emailing a phone number to someone, i dont actually know the number, but my hand does... sdlfnsdgklndflgldfg
