 5.Can someone convert this picture to ASCII, please? 

     Yes, but there are a few things you should know before
     making this sort of request. Firstly, there are computer
     programs which convert graphics files of a particular
     format (usually GIF) to ASCII art. They go by names such
     as ascgif, gifa, gifscii, and gif2ascii. Do a Web search
     for any of these programs to find places where you can
     download them. Try: 

          gopher://twinbrook.cis.uab.edu/1A/atools.70 
          ftp://ftp.wwa.com/pub/Scarecrow/Gifscii/. 

     However, the output from these programs is often not good
     (fiddling with the picture in an image-editing program
     beforehand may help). In this case, you can post a request
     to the newsgroup asking for someone to `asciify' it, but
     please don't post the picture itself. To save downloading
     time for people reading the messages, if possible give the
     URL (Web address) of the picture instead.

     If you saw the picture on a Web page, you can find out its
     URL by right- clicking on it (on the Macintosh, holding down
     the mouse button) and selecting `Open this image' (or its
     equivalent for your Web browser), then copy the URL from the
     Location bar to your news program (make sure you copy it
     exactly).

     If the picture is not on a Web site anywhere, put it up on
     your own site (if you have one), or get a friend to put it
     up on their site, and post the URL to alt.ascii-art. If you
     can't do this, post your request to alt.ascii-art and wait
     for an artist to reply, then e-mail the picture to them.

Regards,

-R-
