I haven't seen ASCII art in so long. The nostalgia just made me perk up and giggle.

That beautiful neon banner makes the page almost totally unnavigable for me (Firefox 10/Centos).

I used to use TheDraw to add intro animations to my freshman CS assignments (1989-1990). At first the TAs thought it was funny but then I guess it annoyed them because it screwed up their automated graders.

Have you ever found a replacement that works suitably without having to use DosBox?

Ahh memories. I remember ansi.sys was susceptible to ansi bombs. Keyboard remaps, dedicated print, etc.

It takes me back. I need to go and dig out some of those ANSI animations I made for my BBS back in 1989/90.
