Judge it for yourself.

Attempted to place one on my page but the host does not
allow this for free space. 

http://webpages.charter.net/lgbeard/404error.html

Also tried some experiments with css and the cursor, only
works in IE6 i think. Netscape it does not work, still 
figureing this out. What i had done was to draw these two,
 
a pointer
.
)\
`.)

and a hand for links

 (\..
/))\\\
\^ ///

converted them to a bitmap then to a cursor file gave them 
some transparency with a little color. Fiddle with size a 
little bit trying to keep it looking like the ascii drawing.

Feedback most welcome.

Nice error page, maybe it needs a little ASCII picture rather than just 
text?

ObASCII:

_.,-'`^=^`'-,._/
  `'-,.v=v.,-'` \

En then there is our own 404 page.

(Which is not ASCII art but worth viewing anyway. ;-)

Yes I know. I ahem... "borrowed" the idea from mister Levenez. Sorry about 
that... sort of. But its pretty good isn't it?
