Dear human unit:
 
                                   OBS: Sorry for the "stuth".
                                        I broke the front tooth.
                                        ... but now, the main course:
 
A very kind gentleman representing iCE [Insane Creators Enterprise]
ANSI-art group sent me this message, that I think will be of your
interest...

 Dear Carlos,
 
 Yes, I can imagine what these guys are doing. I'm in the other group that
 competes with them. There are two professional ANSI "demo" groups in the
 world, ACiD [which stand for Ansi Creators in Demand] and iCE [Insane
 Creators Enterprise]. I am a member of the latter. We constantly compete
 by releasing monthly packs (like the one you've just posted, grin). We
 have many extremely talented artists that we believe take ANSI to a whole
 new level.. most of our stuff, old or new, will probably blow away any
 interpretation you've had of ANSIs before. The funny thing is, most of
 our members are KIDS! Rather, teenagers, aged 13-17. Those are most of
 the artists you see in these packs. If any of you are interested in more
 packs, where to get them, or to get an ANSI Request done [keep in mind
 with the slew of requests our artists get ..they've turned to charging
 money for them], you can send me or a rep mail at iCE@shadow.net. ACiD,
 unfortunately, does not have thatm uch access to the internet. I also
 have FTP sites for a whole slew of packs, not just ACiD or iCE but
 "wannabe" groups that are trying to reach our level of excellence.. :)
 
 Take it easy!
 
 Cavalier [iCE]
