Dear Ms. Hickman,
 
     Do you know what the computer terms "A.S.C.I.I." and "A.S.C.I.I.
Character Set" mean?  No?  If you did then you would be able to tell the
difference between "ascii-art" animation and regular video animation.
Perhaps you could view an instructional video from a company that bothers
to actually explain what the ASCII Character Set is... (just a thought).
I do applaud your entrepreneurial spirit, though -- however misplaced in
this NewsGroup it might be.
 
P.S.  You might also want to check out the difference between the USENET
NEWS NewsGroups' hierarchies "ALT." and "BIZ." while you are at it.

	Touchy, aren't we?
	This was obviously just a simple mistake, or perhaps an
optimistic venture. There was no need to jump down her throat like that-
its not like she was doing anything particularly annoying. You'd
probably scare her off the net altogether like that... And the net is
supposed to be so sociable :-).

About two years ago I attended Spike and Mike's festival of annimation. 
At the show they offered a few vidios to buy. At the time I didn't purchase 
any. I am actually very interested in a few now. Do you have the number so I 
could order them?? If so please write me at kir...@ucla.edu.

Thank you, 
LEE!
