Here's something you might use, depending on how many lines your newsreader
gives you for your sig and that you don't mind that your email address is
split into two parts (didn't want to make the disk too big).  It was the first
thing that came to mind (naturally, with a moniker like High Density) and it
seemed like fun at the time to try to do...

Oh, btw, I believe it's 'than' rather than 'then' in order to be grammatically
correct.  We want the best for your sig, you know ;) Granted, the sig design
leaves a lot of 'white space' (or blank space) on the right side, however the
centered quote does fill it up a bit.  Nice and simple, although you can also
include other information if you want.  Please keep my initials there if it's
ok with you, otherwise you can remove it as long as you use it for personal
emailing.  

Don't count yourself out by saying that you can't draw for your life (and this
includes anyone else in the newsgroup).  We (those who do draw) all started
out at the same place as you are now.  Just practice a bit, play around, and
pretty soon, you'll be making ascii art like the rest of us! :)

Take care, and tell me what you think.

It is also a sample in the song "Gimme the Prize" by Queen.  The sample
comes from the movie Highlander, and spoken by the Kurgan.

"I have something to say:  it's better to burn out than to fade away."

Now we're really straying from ASCII art discussion, so...

Okay, so I'm not all that happy with the A's or the D.  What do expect
on the spur of the moment?  Perfection?
