The "Computer code" you are seeing is actually the language of the Adobe pdf file viewer. The computer geek at Blackmon Auctions is actually the one that dropped the ball. That said, you can still view their brochure:

On the page where the "computer code" is displayed:
-If using Internet Explorer: click "file...save as"
-If using Mozilla Firefox: click "file...save page as"
(I will put a shameless plug in here for FireFox --- IMHO it is MUCH BETTER than IE)

Pick whatever target directory you wish to save the file into.
The file name will show as "UPApril08". Click at the RIGHT SIDE of this file name and add ".PDF" to the file name (minus the double-quotes).
Click "Save" to actually save the "UPApril08.PDF" file.
Use Windows Explorer to go to the folder where you saved the file.
Double-click on this file to open it with Adobe Reader and you will be able to view this 4 page brochure.

If you do not have Adobe Reader, it is a free download. You can get it here:
Adobe Reader download
This gets you Adobe Reader version 8.1.2 which is a LARGE download at 22.4mb, so you probably don't want to do it on a dialup line. Like almost all computer software, Adobe Reader has gotten larger with each new release.
