Hi,

I need some help on ascii SMS. I want to make a site with predefined ascii
SMS pictures. Ascii SMS pictures in a form textfield, which you can send to
your friend (or enemy ;-). Something like http://www.miccom.at but then
immediate send possibilities. Is this realistic or not? I know there are
differences between phonebrands, so cross-phone production will be
difficult. And how can you send ascii art animation by SMS?

Thanks,

Marruk

Stick with nokia.

and animation is done by pressing the down arrow so that the message
scrolls down, or by pressing up and down repeatedly.

Just like the Balanescu Quartet (don't think their finnish though, maybe
just started) who did Kraftwerk tunes on Cello/violin etc. (not a half
bad "Autobahn")

No, Apocalyptica does play Metallica (they also play Pantera and other stuff,
including own material), but the band itself consists of 4 guys playing metal on
their cello's.

You may be able to find more info at http://www.apocalyptica.com/
Even if you can't find there what you're looking for, it's still a very cool
site!

Balanescu sounds Rumanian...
A quick glance at the bio on CDNOW told me that Balanescu is indeed a Rumanian
and the other 3 peeps of the quartet are Brittish.

For those who are interested: you can hear a few samples of their reditions of
kraftwerk songs at
