Well, there are less risks of errors retyping by hand than passing via
an OCR. At least *you* know that everything you see are hex numbers, the
OCR does not. Eventhough it's quite annoying to do that by hand, it
generally takes less than 5 minutes to retype an oops, which is not that
much. Of course, the serial cable to another machine to get a panic dump
is the easiest solution ;-)
