Slightly off topic, but I find the fascination with ASCII-arting things interesting.<p>I grew up in the days of 2400 baud modems and even ran a BBS briefly.  At the time, ASCII art was the only thing you could do to differentiate yourself.<p>Nowadays I suppose it&#x27;s a combination of nostalgia and ease of transferring since pretty much every system ever has a way of reading ASCII.<p>But I wonder how long the trend will last -- the majority of internet users don&#x27;t have &quot;nostalgia&quot; for ASCII anymore [0] and there are at least a few image and video formats that are becoming almost as ubiquitous as ASCII readers.<p>[0]  I was recently on a discussion with some folks I used to work with at university about how our old workplace was no longer offering shell accounts to the students because they weren&#x27;t being used.  This made us all sad since most of us learned all of our command line foo at that workplace.
