alt.ascii-art · 7 messages · 13 Jul 1998 - 30 Jul 1998
Hey people,

I was wondering if anyone has an good ascii art of some fireworks, like 
explosions, nice flowers of sparkles in the air, etc... Something that might 
fit onto one screen. Thanks, a site on the Net would help too.

Mail me at ara...@hotmail.com

Here are Joan Stark's fireworks playing over Toronto Harbour to
celebrate Canada Day.

Joan has also done a Javascript ascii-animation of her fireworks. I know
she has them on her page but I'm not sure if she has fixed the coding so
that if you have Netscape Navigator 3.01, MSIE 4.0, Opera 3.2b2 (or
higher) with the Javascript enabled, you can view the fireworks. I
altered the coding and her animation is at:

I just sort of saw your message and made some art right then, so it probably
stinks, but here it is anyhow. Heh, see the couple at the bottom with their
own little firework.

Eh?  Middle-aged?

Then perhaps your usual self-portrait...of the vivacious 20 year-
old...has been misleading us all and the picture below maybe a
better guide after all...with the furrowed brow, crowsfeet, wrinkles
an' all?

In a recent survey in the local newsgroup nz.general almost every
respondent put down their age group as 25 to 36. Is _that_ perhaps
middle-age for computer nerds?
