My question to you: is this Jefferson Computer Museum a _real_ museum?
(is it a building in which a collection of comp stuff is archived? is
there a west wing with "aaa" displayed?) That would be interesting...

I don't know of the existence of a Computer Museum overhere in Europe...
Ofcourse many IT faculties of Technical Universities have got huge
collections of primitive soft-/hardware, but it's just getting dusted
every once in a while... in the cellar... No curator, no historian,
no-one who might have the notion this bit-stuff has changed the future
forever is getting there. Cos there aren't curators/historians as
such...

                  --->>>>>>zoom in on aaa<<<<<<<---
Dunno that list, but there are probably many more ASCII-art files worth
to keep. I browsed the web looking for everything i could find about aaa

in march, and all i could find about pre-UseNet aaa was on the page you
mentioned and on Joan's

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/history.htm

and on RADMAN's

http://artpacks.acid.org/www/html/intro.html

... and that's a bloody shame...

Surely i'm not the only one who hung an ASCII version of Mona Lisa or
Marilyn Monroe on his teenage bedroom wall during the late 70ties/early
80ties. Provided for by this educated and popular uncle who worked on a
mainframe you only could approach dressed up in a moonsuit...
