Just to maybe get an alternative discussion going:
What do we reckon the best piece of ascii ever is?
There's been so much, but the one that sticks in my
mind is Row's famous eagle:
/T /I
/ |/ | .-~/
T\ Y I |/ / _
/T | \I | I Y.-~/
I l /I T\ | | l | T /
T\ | \ Y l /T | \I l \ ` l Y
__ | \l \l \I l __l l \ ` _. |
\ ~-l `\ `\ \ \\ ~\ \ `. .-~ |

It withstands much reposting, and i really really really
wish that I could make something as good!
Anyone else think another piece is better than this?

It may give the artist concerned a big head ;-) or it may cause bad feelings with other artists who slave long and hard over their work and never get the credit they deserve because it wasn't a huge ASCII that looks complicated and wasn't really. There are some fantastic small ASCII's around that really impress me. A lot are on Joans site incidentally :-) Thanks for the compliment anyway. _.-._ ,' ', ; ; ', , { P j P } Now.
