FYI: Pretty cool ascii utility

There is a web site with a cool little java utility that gives you a canvas, 
and lets you draw on it in different colors, and then will generate an ascii 
representation of it to a file.  It can be downloaded at: 
http://weber.u.washington.edu/~picasso/java/ad/AsciiDraw.html

You can play with it on through your web browser, but applets cannot access 
your disk.  Therefore you will have to download it and run it as a java 
application to be able to save any work to a file without cutting and pasting. 
If you didn't already know, you must have the Java Developers Kit from the Sun 
web site to run it outside of the web browser.
