Hi list,

For those who probably don't know, CVC is the security number containing 3 
or 4 digits in the back of your credit card, and here comes the story:

My MasterCard has expired this month, and I've got a new one. Therefore I 
had to update my card details on Spotify, the music service I've told 
about earlier. To get the precent CVC from the card, I tried to scan it 
using OmniPage and my flatbed scanner, but with no result. Then I tried 
to examine the back side of the card with my Optacon, and there it was: a 
3 digit number separately from the card number etc.

Then, immediately after getting this 3 digit number, I saved it to a text 
file where I've preserved my card details since long time ago, and then I 
tried to update the card details on Spotify and succeeded!

But what would I have done without my Optacon and with the OCR not 
working? I would probably had to have asked for sighted assistance.

PS. When typing this, I was so happy that I made several typos that I've 
probably managed to correct. (smile)

Regards,
