Question?

I know I have asked this before....but what is the computer stuff called
where you can make pictures from your keyboard???? Like a birthday cake
made out of letters???? I think it starts with A....but not sure.

Anne Jackson...

ASCII art?

**Dalin**...

Your art disappeared Anne. Was it a snow blower?

Chakolate...

It looked more like a bicycle to me. Use fixed font.

Anne Jackson...

No Dalin, it was a motorbike!

Lou...

As David said, you need to have your reader set for fixed font.
Its a motorcycle.

**Dalin**...

I know that about the fixed font, but it's easier to ask than change
my font.

Chakolate...

:-) Another great reason to use XNews - the keyboard shortcut is
Shift+F.

Sue...

It disappeared when you hit reply. But, I went back to Anne's original and
it was still there.
kewl.

**Dalin**...

Umm - a chicken with three legs?

Sue...

I think it's a train. Maybe?

Jean B....

Really? I can't remember why I don't use Arial in ngs; maybe
back when I had TWO brain cells, I deliberately chose a fixed
font. My first thought re the above was that Davis should use
it all the time, but then I thought folks might think he had a
huge ego if he did. :-)

Jean B....

Uh, what is the difference? I will read on and prolly find out!

Sue...

That's it! Thanks...

david...

you're welcome. that stuff above is 'david' in fixed font and gibberish
otherwise... :)

david...

they're ascii pictures... and there are websites that have samples...:)

but they're only visible if you're using fixed font to read them.
