ASCII Art

While doing research on the 'net at work today, I came across a Linux site that had ASCII are of a train at the bottom of the page. Ah, ASCII art. Whatever happened to thee? One of the first computer programs I ever wrote was an ASCII animation of a stick figure doing cartwheels. But there is far more sophisticated stuff out there. There is a very extensive collection at this site. They've even got a mirror image of the train I saw. And then there's this site, which also has some ASCII animation. (warning, ad heavy and weird framing). Just about all of it is better than what I did:


| \O/
| |
| / \
|
| /
| -- O
| / \ |
| \ /
| |
| /O|
| | O --
| / / \
|
| \O/
| |
| / \

TA-DA!
