   Reader Robert Furman emailed me, saying: "I was reading an old post for a 
program called 'Gifscii Mac', is there such an animal for the Apple ][ 
series computer?"

   As I read his question, a thought flashed through my mind, how about a 
Gifscii server?  You would go to a web page, enter a url to a GIF you put 
in your public html or ftp folder, maybe enter some parameters (ie columns 
and lines, etc), and press the button.  It converts the GIF and puts the 
results on screen, which you can copy and paste or download.

   Now the question is, who will set it up?
