Well Jon, most people don't care much about watching my sig, and
I ain't got my Ascii Art page specified there.
I doubt that many people visit my mainpage (Even though it's got
this brand new cool design and concept)

If more people would take a look at it, they would find much
more stuff that might be interesting to some people besides
Ascii Art.
It's true that I put much work into my Ascii page, but that's
only because it's so popular.
But I also make music, macintosh games, provides jokes (ascii aswell),
provides useful information about Macintosh related stuff, and
a whole lot more.

I almost always use the <ALT=> tag to describe pictures.
My site is completely free from ads and stuff so you can
safely turn the [Autoload Images] on.

My Ascii site is completely free from pictures (except the 1 kb large
background), because ascii art is meant to load fast.
