BarCode 1 Site Contents

BarCode 1 Site Contents

Yet another site that you might not go to. It's about... well, bar codes. History, programs, how to get them, how to decode them, even a list of magazines (!?!?!?!) about them.

OK, it does sound funny. But as much as we accept it today, we have to remember how big a change they made. Even small stores have laser scanners now. And it saves money, too... when the national headquarters for a grocery store chain can know EXACTLY how much Diet Coke they have at store #2345332, they can order things just in time to fill the need.
