I grew up in Wisconsin -- the Fox Valley until I was 10 -- and remember calling all ATMs "time machines" until moving to Milwaukee and seeing more brands there than in Neenah. This was long before I had my own debit card, of course; I just got to watch my parents use the magic money machines.

And as I recall, TYME stood for "take your money everywhere," which seems to be backed up online: http://www.stands4.com/bs.asp?st=TYME&SE=1
