As a general thought, hooking up ATM machines to the general internet sounds like it would be a source of "fun" for years to come.

For your point though, most probably it wouldn't be the ATM that does it. The ATM would send/queue a notification to some other resource in the bank network, for that to do the whole email notification piece. But that should be possible today (or even years ago).

Reminds me of those people using `resource' as a synonym for `warm body'..

(You are absolutely right in your intended meaning, though.)
