Seasons Greetings big time......

Hey guys,

VIEW THIS MESSAGE IN COURIER

My mate Matt Burrows in Leicester sent this on to me, having received it from
his mate in Birmingham....

Well I was just so gobsmacked by it I had to mail it on to everyone I know
- even if my usual response to the mention of the dreaded C is Bah
humbug!!!

I just can't imagine who has the time (or patience) to sit down and work these
things out.....

Heh heh... must've been some UNIX hack with one old terminal... the kind with
bright letters on a dark background. Thanks for the reminder of the old days!
(I remember when I used to try to create
ASCII art.. was never very good at it  :-)

Weren't there programs (once up a time) that would convert GIFs into ASCII? I
never saw one, just heard rumors...
