        '   (or: Jumping on the y2k bandwagon!) :o)

On each of the six remaining days until the start of y2k, AAOTM will
be looking though some of the art of six artists who have been big
on alt.ascii-art. Admittedly ASCII Art hasn't been around throughout
this millenium, but who cares? :o)
I just wish there were more days to run this on... there are just
too many artists to fit into this almost-week.

"Joan Stark has emerged as a very talented, and by far the most
prolific Ascii Artist, to date, easily surpassing the collections of
Row; Targon; Susie Oviatt; Normand Veilleux and Allen Mullen."
