I think it would probably work if the picture was BIGGER..... (and
probably the best size would be very different for different
computers...) 

When I tried holding the space-bar down I accidentally flew too far and
marked a large number of unread messaged read and had some trouble
finding my way back... 

I have found another way to animate ascii but when I tried that the
animations went much too fast and all you saw was a flicker and then the
last picture in the series. Then you could make gif animations of them
and even though those are cool I don't want to call them "ascii
animations"....

I think the new java method is the best so far (of the ones that I have
seen) and I also think that in a couple of years java will become more
common.

I think our greatest problem here is still compatibility between
different types of computers.
