Older ones used to run OS/2 2.1.  The newer ones mostly run Windows 2000 
or XP.  In some cases, you can even see the Thinkpad inside when they 
are being refilled with money.

I've seen one reboot and execute a bunch of .BATs to upgrade stuff while 
trying to get money for a cab at Prague's airport.  Very scary!
