Default Clever idea

I just installed a new modem from Comcast with the built in wireless router. I got it installed and than figured out that the wireless code was on the back. There was not a lot of light where I had it installed so I used my iphone flashlight app to try and read the passcode. I think the print was in 2 pt font. Even with glasses and light I couldn't read those pesky small letters and numbers. Didn't have the best angle, but years ago it would have not been a problem.

Having the iphone still in my hand, the light bulb (in my head) finally went on. I took a picture of it, and than just expanded the picture and could read it fine. Can't wait for that next medicine bottle where the fine print is designed to be never read. Or some dim restaurant where I can't read the menu. Or somewhere I need glasses but left them home. Just snap a picture and expand the print. Problem solved.
