One of my first questions... but since I've been making the ascii
pictures, I found that it really is used ...it can be sent in email
messages and greetings...  ( many times pictures cannot be sent in mail
programs)...  It can make "dry" reading more enjoyable.  It can liven up a
birthday, holiday e-card...  Ascii art is used on signatures and in
headers for email newsletters and e-zines.   Or you can just look at it--
what's the purpose of hanging a picture on the wall?

btw, I've also know people to print the pics and create coloring pages for
their kids or students.  I've also been contacted by art teachers who are
interested in adding ascii art into their curriculum.  So I guess there is
a demand for the pictures...
And I'll keep making them!
