Eleven minutes between posts, but I don't know when I looked it up.
Less than five minutes, I guess.
It's only backwards.
It's not like it involves any elaborate transposition or encryption.

Reading upside down is a really handy skill for a journalist to have. Sometimes you get the interview but what you want is not coming from the interviewee, it's hidden in the documents sitting right in front of them.

I would dearly love to show you this in real life but jkisha is right. The system needs an overhaul in both hardware and software to be able to accommodate this properly. Honest, I tried.

May I suggest that you take your laptop and turn it around to view this text upside down.

Alternatively if you have a desktop computer monitor, you may have to stand on your head! :D

Not to get technical...

copied the text, opened "paint", drew a text box, pasted the text then did 'image'; "flip/rotate"; "rotate by angle"; "180" then saved the file.

It'll only work that easy for text, images are a little harder :wink:
