When I was at college (many year ago now...) they had an ASCII picture
of a cat on the computer operations room wall - it took up (if my memory
serves me right) around four to six 132-character-width pages of
lineprinter paper (told you it was a long time ago) in a 2 x 2 or 2 x 3
matrix...
Has anyone come across this picture - it looked stunning from across the
room - this was in the days of fixed font band and golf-ball printers...
I reckon I could get it down to a couple of pages of A4 using 6-point
courier...
p.s. keep up the great work!
