I think that ascii art is really cool, but a few of us have screens that are only a few characters narrower than others. (Or maybe some people's screens are a few characters too wide.) So just a note to those people who do have wide screens - would it be possible to make your pictures a tiny bit smaller so the rest of us can see the whole pictures? Some of them are really complicated and hard to figure out with dumb screen wraps after each line. Thanks!!

Just a guideline, especially for Mac users (I don't know if this applies to PCs as well): When doing ASCII art, use font Monaco 9, and make sure that your art is no wider than *80 Characters*.
