 Well, I use pbmtoascii or so in my .mailcap file - for viewing almost
any image within mailer[1]. Any I said? Well, I pipe the image through
something quite similar to:
anytopnm|pnmscale -xsize 80|ppmtopbm|pbmtoascii
 .... can't remember correctly - I am at work. I can send you the full
line if you like? It's quite funny when I have those images directly in
my mailers-window *smirks*

 Well, I wouldn't use one for showing off to someone, just for personal
use like said above - viewing images in an xterm/on the console... Well,
sometimes some people get amazed even about that *ehhehe*

 Nice little snake....

 Btw, I am also thinking about doing a PEZ-head.... just to let you
know. Your archives aren't "closed" yet, are they? Not much time right
now, so putting me under preasure might result in no ascii at all.....
 Sorry for that!

 Have fun!
