I have not found any ascii art for HAL-9000's face. I have come up
with a 'rough draft' of HAL-9000, but I was never that good with
ascii. Could one of you artists maybe help make it look better, and
finish it? Or just start from scratch and do your own. It would be a
someone fun kindof project to say the least, since we all love
HAL-9000 :). I would imagin that his eye would be the hardest part to
make look good. But I have total trust in you artists, I have seen
some amazing things done by ya'll.

If you don't know what HAL-9000 looks like, here are some links to a
few pictures of him.. http://hal9000.inetstrat.com/hal/hal.jpg ,

Here is my rough draft of the ascii art. As you can tell, it's not
that great, but it's an idea.

 ================
 |  HAL-9000    |
 |              |
 |              | 
 |              |
 |              |
 |              |
 |              |
 |      __      |
 |              |
 |      _       |
 | (   (o)    ) |
 |              |
 |              |
 |      __      |
 |==============|
 |*%*%*%*%*%*%*%|         
 |%*%*%*%*%*%*%*|            
 |*%*%*%*%*%*%*%|

Anyway, thanks ahead of time!
