For sure the sixel graphics give us a nice opportunity to add new visuals while maintaining compatibility!  It's a nice surprise when one pops up.

I hope the astronomy picture of the day worked when you called in!  I like that SyncTerm shows the sixels progressively as it is received, some of the other clients don't show the image until it's all been received (IcyTerm).  The progressive loading of the image adds to the effect, IMO.
