I first met ASCII-art when hanging in the C64-Scene.
Whenever releasing some of demo-programs, we designed
the directory of the disk with some nice logos and pics.
And then after changing to Amiga in '89 and staring to call
out mailboxes, I met the whole ASCII/ANSI design that
you can do on them, and that's when I started seriously
doing my styles.
