RE: Cool TEXT effects with ASCII characters - ASCII ART / Picture to ASCII (PART I)
I grew up in a strange place called the 70's. We had computers there, too. And we had ascii art. That was the only kind of computer art there was. You'd put in 132 column green bar paper - backwards - into the line printer, and run a program that no one knew who stole from where. And you'd get a an ascii picture of a naked woman sitting on a stool. As high-school freshmen we thought we were on the top of the world with that.
Hahahaa... yep.
Things like that, meaning bit images, games and music was the start for today technology.
And for us being the first we saw, they were more than special. And we appreciated more than nowadays kids who complain about all the bugs and have more than they need in their hands.
But is not their fault. It is the world they were born and for them i don't think can be anything new now. Except for bitcoin and maybe the possible unforgiving solar storm. The last if will come, then the stone age will be back ;-)
Damn, nice memories man. And when we saw things like that we were nagged by the elders that is not beautiful to do that... hahaha...
cheers
