Only someone that doesn't know what ASCII code is would make such a
statement.

The problem is not the code but those that don't know how to use it or the
computers that depend on it.  In other words, you need to know more than
where the "ON" switch is located for your computer.

This is posted from two connected computers that depend on ASCII code.
They also don't know what to do with graphic codes, and I like it that way
