Colin! That was wonderful!.  Thanks!
Another reason I was asking about ASCII art history (besides my
personal curiousity) is that I received email from a professor working
at the Smithsonian in the area of Folklore Studies and Cultural
Programs who is interested in ASCII art. Her questions raised some
of my own...

If anyone on the newsgroup has more info to add (or if Colin happens
upon more tidbits), please post or email...  It's actually very nice to
know more about our hobby.
