IP: Visa website -- ho, ho, ho!

Today's San Jose Mercury had a blurb for this great website (they must
advertise) from Visa which tells me the location of nearest ATM. Right.


After a lot of clicking (took over 2 minutes), it showed me 3 ATMs in the
NEXT state, some 10-15 miles away, on a terrible map which clearly
delineated every brook in the area (including some which never have any
water) but left most of the streets out, or labelled them "unknown street."
Very helpful, except that 2 miles down the road in the center of MY town in
MY state are two ATMs which apparently Visa doesn't know about, even though
they do take Visa cards.


And when I clicked on the icon on Visa's homepage for Visa Worldwide (might
need an ATM in Kalamata, Greece), I got the message, "no such DNS". Doesn't
Visa ever check what they are doing?
