I'm devastated to see that Celia, who created some wonderful
javascript ascii-animations, seems to have disappeared into the ether.
Her page WAS at http://members.xoom.com/albertopsq/. I have
web-searched and only find references to that site. Does anyone know
if her pages still exist? Did anyone archive her animations? 

Celia also used to have on her site a program for making javascript
ascii-animation. Is it true that Jave will do that? (We STILL haven't
upgraded this ancient machine so don't have room to download Jave
myself - I'm waiting til some brave soul has it to use online....)

I've briefly skimmed Kangaroo's archives but do not see Celia's
animations there. I looked at Andreas Freise's animation site and saw

Quel horreur!! This means that not one, but TWO of my favourite
ascii-animation sites do not have any animations.

Have you tried looking in The Internet Archive
(http://www.archive.org/)?

the xoom in that was changed when they were bought and msnbc ran it 
with a nbci where the xoom used to be, I note that now my site that 
was on that server is also gone (no loss, I have the backups). They
never even sent a notice.

My animation site is still up on my server:
http://www.bluedwarf.net/mikechat/jmov/ASCIImation.html

not much there but it is still up, and has one of your fish there!

Many thanks for the link to what looks to be a useful archive. Sadly,
from what I could see, the pages are not archived there.
