- Does anybody have a scanner for microfiche? I have about 50
sheets of microfiche containing a small amount of source code I
wish to preserve. I tried scanning them, even at 2400dpi the
characters are little black blobs. Some optical magnification
is obviously necessary prior to scanning.
- It appears that with Tel$tra's February 11th press release
about supporting ICQ over SMS, that they have blocked SMS to
Tel$tra numbers except to subscribers to this "new service",
who pay their outrageous 25c charge per SMS received. My mobile
is on Vodafone because it saves me $25 to $30 per month compared
to T$, who were screwing me blind for years with their mobile
rates. Vodafone and Optus numbers are still able to receive
SMS from ICQ. Except that when I gave T$ the finger, I kept
the T$ number and ported it to Voda. Therefore, my mobile
can no longer receive SMS from ICQ. T$ continues to screw me,
even though I'm no longer a customer!
