[PIC] Laptop

The client wanted me to add something to the laptop to make it more
laptopy. They wanted a mouse. Because you know a laptop doesn't look
like a laptop without a detached mouse. Right. I advised a cord might
be a better touch and they went with it.

I was very happy with the true ascii grit that came through on this
one.
Is anyone reading this?

Just kidding .. I'm still reading a.a-a every day, just not posting a lot.

The laptop looks converted to me, could you decribe your workflow ?
Did you draw the laptop first and then use a converter or did you use a photo
.. followed by manual cleanup and detail work ?

That's how I personally like to very complex drawings .. get the outline right
first with a conversion and then rediddle almost everything by hand.

I'm personally guessing Jave was involved because I see signs of the gradient
dithering technique I originally suggested to Markus. It works great btw.

emacs-21.3-no-x11 runing in aterm with transparent background and
Esetroot being used to display whatever image I want as a wallpaper
that is visable through the transparent aterm.  Put emacs in
picture-mode and hand draw everything.  This was the only drawing in
the series series that was partially converted.  I always sign drawing
done via a converter with :AA: in addition to the :F_P: since aalib is
my converter of choice.  It seems that on this piece the :AA: was left
out in error.  I checked all of the other parts of this series and
none of them used a converter.

I don't use Jave since I never had any luck with getting it to run a
few years ago.  I use aalib when I do decide to use a converter which
is not very often.

Here is the original aalib conversion that I fortunatly saved in my notes:
