Markus, I hope I'm not overstepping the line by saying you're plugging your
program a bit too much here. Yes, it's a very good piece of software, but you
seem to be responding to a lot of posts saying "yes, that's good, but use this -
it's better". It is starting to get a bit repetative, to me at least

What I would find more interesting as far as image > ascii goes is a
"competition" where several people convert the same image(s) using their
preffered converters, to give us a full comparison of the results. Anyone with
web space willing to host something like that?
