Hm.. I don't like sans-serif fonts, but you don't see me deleting them all
from my system.. (But I'm a font hoarder anyway. I have many, (for not
having one of those 1000fontcd's anyway))  AHEM, on to what I was gonna
say..

I was doing some web-research for the a.a-a page that will go on my website
if/when the next update ever comes out, and I found a webpage,

http://www.io360.com/v2/yo/asciiworld/gs.html

which will gifscii any .gif (OR .jpg) off the Internet, or let you upload
your own to use. It's pretty interesting; you put the URL of the image in a
form, submit it, and then a page comes up with the original image and the
gifsciified (whoaw what a word) version underneath it... Of course, it's
still gifscii, so it ain't beautiful, but hey, don't we all need a little
diddling? ;)
