Gnash, the resolution is insufficient.
Have you got any programs that support OCR?
Most scanners do.
If so OCR (convert it to text) it and it will appear as a word doc or some such, from which you can copy the text...

Gees its hard lying on the computer desk to read it

copy it to your pictures F&F then rotate it

earthbound

Um yeah...... Heard of em, met one of them, don't think they've every really done anything.

I hope that it's successful, but I doubt it will ever get off the ground... I wish people would get hard facts, figures, expenses, and models together because all I keep seeing lately is talk. I guess that's half the game now a days. People talk, talk, talk, get published, get the dream scheme out there as much as possible so that they can use that media and notoriety go out and try and get funding to then set up something..

I've read claims elsewhere that they are industry leaders, on the cutting edge of aquaponics technology. Yet they couldn't even get one photo of anything AP for the article? Maybe I'm becoming cynical in my old age, but sometimes loose talk and over expectations can end up hurting a new industry.

Good on them, I don't know if they will be sussessful or not but they seem to have good conections, they already have a buyer for their product and becuase of their location the land will be relatively cheap.
