Oh, where is Dan Strychalski?  ASCII is ASCII--  if you develop ASCII any
further, it is no longer ASCII.  The beauty of ASCII art is its simplicity and
it's ability to work on all computer systems. 

When you start adding html, gifs, jpgs, animation, and the like, it is no
longer ASCII at it's finest.  Period.
