By the way, nothing -FORCES- you to use images, "radio
buttons," etc. on a web site. A web site can be 100
per cent text, if you want it to be. In fact, an all-
text web site is a lot easier to design.
Just learn some HTML code, and write your own pages
with a text editor. Don't use those crappy "page
designer" programs; they suck.
Do a Google search (www.google.com) on "HTML tutorial."
You'll find lots of information.
One of the problems with an ASCII web site is that the
majority of people who visit the site will be using
WinDoze, Loonix, Mac X-crement, or some other kind of
gooey-based operating system.
And they'll be using a graphical browser which defaults
to a proportional font.
When ASCII art is rendered in a proportional font, it
looks like crap.
Even specifying the font type in your HTML code is no
guarantee that an ASCII site will render properly in
a graphical browser. Even the "Courier" font used by
some browsers is proportional.

I once put up a web site which queried ((( `\
what type of browser the caller was _ _`\ )
using. If the browser wasn't a text- (^ ) )
based browser, like LYNX or YAN, I ~-( )
refused them access. Hehehe! _'((,,,)))
