sometimes people want to use a picture with their text
sometimes their hardware-transport or transport-medium
    will not permit (8-bit) graphic images
so they decide to use an ascii (7-bit) picture instead [*]

this is why you may find people calling into this forum
"can anyone tell me where i may find ....... ?"

people that pass thru' here may have already seen what
they are looking for and point them in that direction
or may say "here is one i did earlier" or whatever


[*] before you say "they should they upgrade!"
    the reality is you may find you are working on a
    giga-bit machine with hi-gfx and go-faster stripes
    in your plush office in the center of the metropolis
    but your destination is the depths of darkest-industrial
    england to an ancient teletype
