Almost exactly a decade ago, several magazines and newspapers, including The Dallas Morning News, rolled out similar scannable barcodes in their print products. The CueCat scanner was a separate device that you plugged into your PC. Scanning the code attached to an article would take you to the company’s website, for example, or a video related to the story or somesuch.
Go look at the article and the picture. I kept on for years, cord chopped off and marked with as sharpie – it was my RESTROOM pass.
Free from Radio Shack, as many as you wanted. Who was behind that? He was a Dallas guy…
