[TALK] Why don't we call
PB>"Yes, but is it art?" PB>I think the term ASCII art is obsolete. There are ANSI and other PB>character sets besides ASCII. PB>Comments? But they're not as universal as ASCII (I believe Macs get befuddled over the [Esc] character, found in ANSI, also by some high and/or low ascii codes. . .) I *like* ASCII art (*I'll* keep calling it that!) :) I don't have a creative bone in my body (not even cartilage!), but I do enjoy looking at others' art in this genre (the sheer SKILL and imagination put into it is what I like, I guess. . . but I like the gif2ascii stuff, too... it just looks neat. . .)
