        That's  great,  janet!  We *may* both have raided (robbed? :-)
     ?) the same ASCII-art bank.  I don't really want  to  sound  like
     the  geeky  'Net old-timer that I really am, but ASCII-art always
     makes me yearn for the old-days  of  24-line/80-column  terminals
     and  terminal  emulators.   Folks  were  oh-so-much-more creative
     then. [G]

        At  the same time, it makes me feel a little sad for the "new-
     timers" (does that make sense?!?) -- especially  our  friends  on
     AOL or any of the Web-based mail systems such as HotMail, Rocket-
     Mail, YahooMail, and the like.  Without some major mouse  effort,
     those  people will never be able to experience the creativity be-
     cause they can't change their mail reader to  use  a  mono-spaced
     (typewriter-like) font.

        Helvetica-shmelvetica, Courier rules!

        And  people  just  don't  understand  why I telnet into a UNIX
     shell account and use Pine/vi to send and read mail.   They  just
     don't know what they're missing.

        Thanks, janet, for sharing your ASCII cats and their real-life
     counterparts.  Take care ...
