GO HERE: http://www.surfplaza.com/figlet/ I am very new at this. This was the first time i have ever posted anywhere, I did not know there where testing groups. I was actual just going to send it to myself once but time ran out. So i just sent it and hoped for the best. To bad it can out all messed up, but it is all right. When i get the time again, I will make another attempt. REX I guess i better make a signature thingy, but that all will have to wait.
I'm not sure what it was either-- it was definitely in a proportional
font- not Arial either-- I would've seen it on my AOL browser.
And for some reason it came out double spaced. Some readers
do that-- check your settings.
As for posting first art, I think it's great. Work on it and send
in some more... Make sure that the font is right and make sure
that you don't have extra spaces at the end of each line-- that
can cause wrapping.

Ok, First of all, if that was your first time, enjoy it. You know what they
say, the first time is the best time.
Secondly, There is a little known fact I guess you should know. You see,
Most people know about the mythology of a son of a god coming to earth in
a carnate form. But contrary to popular belief, Satan has come to earth
as well, and he did some computer programming. Satan first made the windows
program access, and then that was so well recieved that he made windows 95.
But before his dissapearance, he made the program wordpad, the bastard son
of microsoft word and microsoft notepad. He bred these two programs in
the bowels of hell, and it's spawn was wordpad. Don't use it. (by the way,
since his dissapearance after the release of windows 95, satan has since
claimed responsability for both AOL and the Mac)
Anyway, if you use a simple program like notepad, it will help. Some
people just use a DOS text editor. Also highly reccomended. This will
eliviate all problems in the future with linewrap, or strange fonts.

They are cheap and have been mass-marketed to death. It's pretty hard to
get a decent Mac for under $1K, but there are scads of PC clones...
The mob is heavily influenced by their wallets. :}
