Truly awe-inspiring.

I've been playing around with my site some more...
(that's why I've been so quiet here...)
I added the March "new" pics... and modified the 'how to' page
at my site.  I also added something that I'd like to get some
feedback on.  It will only work for IE browsers though....

go to:
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/howtogrid.htm

It's a script that allows text and images to be 'dragged'
on a webpage.  I know it isn't ASCII -- but I've added text
characters, a grid, and a template to follow.  The intent is to
show how a fixed-width font works and how the ASCII
characters interact with one another.  In any case, my kids
have had fun playing around with it.

Let me know what you think.
And hey, here's a US dollar....
( !new ASCII art, JRO!)  ;)

A whole dollar? Thanks a ton. Good of you to he'p a fellow

Cute idea, Joan... hmmm. I can't seem to drag anything. Maybe it doesn't
work in MSIE3?

You might like to add the GeoGuide as well so that rotten popup doesn't
appear.

Ah, must be... although the script says that it
works for IE browsers... I have 4.0 or something
like that.  It does work...

You're getting a popup?  I'm not.

Yup, I just checked your source code. The popup is hard coded at the
bottom.

When I am in a room with Netscape4, I'll give your game a try.

(Haven't installed it here because of problems and someone's grave
dislikes of certain aspects of the program)

*** Off Topic Notice ***

I have no information about IE5 except what has been published in a few
articles dealing with M$'s anti-trust case.

They are supposed to release a Linux version. I probably won't use it
because I have always used and prefered to use Netscape even when I ran
Win95.
