Thank you for preserving my 'Living Room' on the internet.  In response to your question about it being a living room, this was created for an old-style ascii chat program, and this was decorated to be my home room on the chat program.

So yes, a living room.  The cow was created for one of the super-users who seemed to like cows, and the cat was taken from another ascii-art that I had found on the internet.

The smoke stack I don't remember making, I think someone added it later.
