Even less efficient than programming on a cellphone with T9!

It's cute enough, but nothing magic - for a 24bpp bitmap, each pixel corresponds to three bytes. What would've been slightly impressive is to code a tool that automates this, and demos typing in it's own sourcecode - but that'd probably be a slightly larger bitmap ;)

I want to see someone make a compiler using MS Paint that will compile other MS Paintings. :D
