Re: ascii for sale

~ Bah. :) I think anybody is capable of making their own ASCII. :P Quick 
~ tutorial: Load up MS-Word, Notepad, Wordpad, or any program with multiple 
~ fonts, and write out a word. Then, using the popular $ character, just shape 
~ a word of any font. $'s are usually used for the bulk of the characters, and 
~ commas, apostrophes, periods, etc. are usually used for rounding the
characters 
~ off.
~ Much simpler than getting somebody else to do it for you. :>

I can do it. See?
