Thank you for the wonderful code snippet you so thoughtfully included on your website AS A JPEG OF $#&*(ing TEXT THAT I CAN'T COPY AND PASTE!!!!!

Really… thanks.

Would you really trust that code anyway? I mean, it *was* written by somebody who couldn't even figure out how format it nice and pretty for the web, and had to resort to a screenshot of the IDE, I'm assuming. :-)

you could possibly try out Google's new OCR capabilities..... saw a blogpost about them, supposedly they're pretty good.....

I've learned that retyping code snippets instead of copying and pasting them helps me to really understand and learn what its doing.

Try the print to OneNote driver, if you have access to OneNote. I've used that method with great success, since it will let you pull text out of pretty much anything.

Heh, maybe they're being nostalgic for the days when you'd buy a programming magazine and you'd have to transcribe the code on the magazine pages into your computer!

Its not flawed! ITS RETRO!!
