You have both "file formats" and dates on the Y axis, and no values on the X axis...now I will assume the X-axis is either total bits or number of images or "pages", but that still leaves us with the dual values on the y-axis. Also, if X is bits, your theory does not apply to the argument...for, IMHO, aside from the most important: total 'translatability', the practical reason for doing ascii-art is that the file-size is smaller than a gif or jpeg for the same sized picture. > > #2) I'd like to see the data that you used to form this chart.
