Perhaps too serious a subject for this Newsgroup, given the lovely bits
of whimsy I've seen posted here, but, need a good library of ASCII art
schematic symbols for posts at the sci.electronics.* groups. (Binary
images are considered very bad form there, because of the storage
requirements...)

Will post my own, nascent, library:
