They wrote awesome graphical demos, such as Second Reality, and Dreams, and suchlike, of which I have several and can no longer find a computer to run them. Darn Microsoft to heck. OTOH, some of the best ASCII art I've ever seen came from Mr Kite, a.k.a. Shawn something-or-other, who belonged to a mostly-ANSI, mostly-fugly-sigs group around what was [IMHO] the golden age of the demoscene. So. > >>Please don't top post.
