  I might be mistaken, but the ones you are refering to are generally, I
believes, GIF -> ASCII conversions.  I find the best way to view those is
to go stand at the door of the room, way over there away from the
computer, and look at it.  Squint, too.  If this doesn't work you should
jump up and down (as opposed to staying up) and try to appease the ascii
gods, whom you have obviously angered.  Of course, since these are usually
HUGE pictures, you've now seen the hairline.  Scroll down and repeat for
the eyes and nose, and continue as needed.  One more thing: the ascii gods
like incense, the cones, not the sticks.

   Yes, Normand Villeux (spelling from memory, so be kind) is the man.  I
said this in an earlier post-attempt that never made it past the moderator
(the appeasement of whom requires a whole new set of rituals, and more
incense):  I am constantly impressed with both the quality and volume of
Normand's work.  I burn incense for you, Normand  :)
