ASCII Art (was Re: how to connect a DECprinter I (LA180) ?)

[Andrew Burton]

Last time I searched for "ASCII Art" on the net I found a couple of pictures of naked women amongst those of Spock and Kirk. I didn't see any of Snoopy though :(

I rarely see ASCII art these days. There was a retro ASCII Art newsletter that was published every few months which had some ASCII art in it, but sadly the people behind it have decided to stop making it. Only 5 issues exist, and at present I only have issue 5.


Happy Holidays,

It might also be on some RX01 images of PDP-8 software out
there.

If nothing else, googling for "ASCII art" will probably
reveal a huge repository of pictures of Mr. Spock and
Snoopy.  I can't think of a computer room prior to 1985
that didn't have one or more items hanging on the walls.
Some of it was quite simplistic (just asterisks), but ones
like the cat were amazing.
