yeah... it is very clean and makes scanning paper documents or screenshots
with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software much easier and less
prone to misinterpretation...

interesting... i'd like to see that tagline, please... i don't think i've
found an characters that OCR-A Extended didn't have... it should have the
entire 256 characters in it... plain old OCR-A or OCR-B, on the other hand,
may only have the first 128... i don't know... i needed Extended for the
""high ascii graphics"" box drawing and other shading
characters...
