I also recall, back in the day (!), that when the 1250 became the Mod F90 the black magnetic strip on the back was going to be used for all sorts of things
IIRC, the mag strip was there for several of the later iterations of the F1250 too. One, I believe, was to be an "instant check in" for AT - any movers recall if that idea got anywhere?
I take it, therefore, that you do not bank or shop online or use ATMs - after all, these non-government 'systems' have all been proven to be 'fallible' rather than expected to be 'fallible'.
Of course we do! But we
choose to participate in them and - should we lose confidence in them, or for any other reason - we can choose to stop.
That's the difference ........
