And I'm a former math-language major, who took a filmmaking course to
satisfy his art requirement at UCLA.  Then made a movie, bought my
Amiga Crashmaster 2000 to write the Next Script, got trapped on the
InterNet, saw small ascii pictures starting to appear in rec.humor,
and decided to assemble these little type-characters into a picture
that _I_ wanted to see more of.. ;)  (That's how Herstory begins ;D )
