Because of many problems with people who couldn't read the attachment
last time, I have to resend this information.

Today's site update will probably be the last before New Year's eve.
It might not appear before next year. I'm going for a christmas
vacation with my family. My advise to you all is to spend less time surfi=
ng
the net and more time with your family this christmas.
Have a peaceful holiday!

t

USENET NOTE:

Many of the messages on the newsgroups <alt.ascii-art> and
<rec.arts.ascii> are just requests for ascii art and for re-posting
previous collections.
BEFORE you do that: Take look at this page and see if I have what you
are looking for first. I also have most collections of newer date
from these groups, so that we don't have to repost collections.

I am always glad to get feedback on this page, so please
mail me at: <mailto:ekv...@online.no>
