Is it only computer science majors who do this art?  Certainly not.  My
major was Chinese language and literature, and that was well over 20 years
ago.  I came to Taiwan to work as a translator, started using a computer in
my work, got interested in the machine itself, and wound up becoming a
technical writer.  I first got on the Internet about half a year ago.  I
found alt.ascii-art and fell in love.  It's that simple.
 
       . * . * .  As a channel for creativity and a means of communication
       * . * /    that is fast and accessible to all, that brings people
  /\   | .*       together on the same level, and that promotes literacy of
/__ \___/         all kinds, ASCII has that graphical stuff beat hands down.
