Heh, I'm with you there. Personally I like those who scan schematics and
save as GIF - not that GIF is necessarily bad, but they seem to be the
same people who apparently move whatever it is they're scanning around
the scanner bed during the process, or run some pixel randomiser on the
resulting data or something :-)

Oh, that or they get the threshold settings totally out so that each
line on the schematic ends up a jagged mess as wide as your arm. Urgh.

I keep on having to redraw downloaded schematics because the source
image is such a mess, and it's starting to be a pain :-(

cheers
