   No Subject Given

   I saw such a machine in Hong Kong around July or August. You could dial a number and it would be automatically credited to your account.
   The vending machine also allowed you to purchase drinks using an Octopus smart card.
   About the same number of people used coins as the smart card.. but I didn't see anyone using the dialing method. Doesn't that seem a bit dumb to anyone else? Why would you want to dial for cola?

   How stupid. Just another stupid leftover NAZ 5000 idea, that took 3 years to get out the door. We dont need this crap. Stupid idiots wasted millions on this moronic idea, I'm sure...

   Smart Card is Better

   But still, with three options to pay its more likely you will have one of them. Too bad we don't have the smart card here.

   Coke is it

   They're doing that with Coke machines here in Singapore. I don't drink Coke, and I find the concept a little strange. It would take less time to just drop change into the machine, on the assumption that one has change. I'm not quite sure what the point is to this 'new service'.
