Thanks for the response.  I don't have a FAS account, so that option wouldn't work.  I went back and this time it took 
my comment.  I enlarged the page until it was huge so that I could decode the captcha.  :-)  It's the ambiguous letters 
that get me, the f/t and the i/j with their camoflage coloring and distortion to throw off the scanner.

Computer vision must be improving markedly which is a good sign.  Evolution in action.  Let's up the ante till they can 
recognize ripe fruit from green with partial images and then we can use their systems in fruit picking robots. ;-)  Show 
a picture of an apple or cherry or broccoli and ask the user to enter the name in the verification box.  :-)
