What sort of pictures are you referring to ? Sorry I have not seen
them.
In the "alt.ascii-art" newsgroup we post ascii pictures all the time.
How do you like these ? Are they antiquated enough for you ?

There's a wonderful family named Stein,
There's Ep, there's Gert, and there's Ein.
Ep's statues are junk,
Gert's poems are bunk,
And nobody understands Ein.

Cynthia, I thought it was just a bunch of dribble here too because I was viewing things in the wrong font. Try Courier New or anything that you have that will use equal spaces for each letter/character then the pictures will line up and you will be pleased with what you see! Look below at what the wonderful artists have left for a demonstration of the talents here (I say they are talented not because I am one of them but because I rely on them for their art!) My apologies to the original poster...i couldn't include all of the art...my newsreader won't let me post it if what i am reposting is longer than my new message. Great Art though...even the unidentified ASCII picture!! (sorry but it's not here for those of you wondering what I am talking about!) Good luck, i'm sure you'll enjoy what you see! Julie ps. if by chance what you meant by hyroghliphics and dribble was that the artists here haven't any talent than i think you should look again, or start posting your own ascii-art to prove that you have the right to say that, otherwise we are going to have a few upset people. I would hope that i was correct in the beginning in assuming you were veiwing them in an incorrect font. THe last thing this group needs is some one flaming them. Even though not all the pictures are suitable for everyone there is undoubtebly a great deal of talent to be found here. Again good luck in veiwing them --I have no sig. file, I haven't figured that out yet!!-- > mMNM&%w > mkMH$MUMFPM,NM#Z%% > :!.:x )!!X)$MMWWMM$**$$Nx~~` > !<!*R@@MNR$$$B$WWXXtdn."?XT!: > :~` tH!~!!MBT5$$$$$$$WRHb!"! !. > .<.$f <!!HR$$$$$$$$$$$X?`>!)X?~( > ~-!#@\~/!!!@$$$$$$$$$$$R! `<!M>-!%. > .!!"X !XXM$$$$$$$$$$$R!! !X!!i"~ `: > :!t! <: !?X***$$$$$$$***~! ??>X ` > ' `!~~: ~x. !R$$$$* . x W` - > > ~! ::" `L?X#$F.uC"L" . $ `n > % ~<%!.#mT$"<$k"$$Q?:xW " ' > ~ 4BhU@$W$?!$$ "$$WdN"'. > R$$$$$$* $$k'$$$$$ !&!x > Albert !T$$$$6n'$$$ $$$(T .?" > Einstein @!M$$$$ec.")d$$$$! `. > !!8$f"` " `^T$!~ > !!R$ :xxox..o:d" > " #@!$WN@W$$$~" \ > "~R$$$$$$" N. > .
