Greetings Oh ASCII Gods,

I don't read this newsgroup very often but I thought I'd try my luck
anyway.

When I was 14 (OK... 18 years ago), my school acquired a PDP-11/34
which marked the start of my computing career.  On that system we had
a great ASCII piece of art, namely, the Mona Lisa, which we used to
print out on a Digital DecWriter II.  The cute thing about this
picture was that it was a multi-pass per line image, overwriting
characters on the same line with other characters to make up the
eventual image (132 column).

Does anyone have this image in a text file they'd be willing to
email to me?

Kindest regards,

Adrian J P Waters

No, but you can drool over Yoko Ono taking one too many quaaludes:
