Here's one for all the people who's summer _has_ started and have forgotten what snow actually looks like. Only works on MS-DOS/WIN/WIN95 systems I'm afraid. Copy the following lines (stop at the last 'Z') to a file named 'snow.com' and execute it, preferably in a full screen window for speed. No decoding of any kind neccesary. Hope this thingie linewraps ok, it should wrap every 64 characters.

This morning I woke up (Hmmm..., not quite true, I got brutally woken up
by a horrible sound.... which turned out to be my alarm clock), got dressed
and went into the kitchen to eat breakfast, and looked out through the
window... IT WAS SNOWING!!!
So here's a repost of some snow related pictures I've made:

everywhere now... here the grass has just begun to turn green...):

This vehicle is called "spark" (which means "kick" in Swedish). It
could be described as "a chair on skates".
