How's this one work?
I figured, hey, why not make it a bit bigger, unless I missed the rules or something.  I hope the shading effect works.

(btw, the infinity symbol came first)

How about this one -- it's only two lines, and it's a _bit_ less angular than
the first two...

.-.-.
`-^-'

or

.'`.'`.
`..^..'

or

oo

I don't think the last one is too recognizable...

Well, the second to last is recognizable... but it seems to suggest glasses to
me rather than infinity... I actually have used oo and OO in letters to
indicate infinity... works well when you get used to it... I also have used
(X) and <X>, but in mathematical uses, that doesn't work well.. At one point
a friend of mine and I agreed to just let 1/0 represent infinity, because

  lim.  1      _ _
  x->0  -  =  (_X_)
        x

Then I got a better word processor that let me type equations. Then my Amiga
broke and I'm still using TPU on my VAX.

babble babble...

Oh, does anyone have any ascii/ansi art of wolves or werewolves? I need one
for my vax's logon screen: sick of seeing

%SYSTEM-E-FILNOTOP, file SYS$SYSDEVICE:[ASCIIS]W0000.TXT;1 not opened
-ACP-E-RECSIZE, record of 524 bytes is too large for user's buffer
