I always found these to be really cool, they remind me of stratagy guides from when i was a kid.
99% of the time I am browsing on my phone. I have yet to view these ascii arts on my computer.

I think you would have an easier time seeing them from a computer. I have a hard time seeing them from my phone but from my work computer i can see them clearly. :) maybe the next time your in front of a PC you will be able to see it. :)

Ha! Infants! I remember when The Computer took up half of a pretty large room, was full of vacuum tubes (among which a mummified mouse was once found), and communication with it was by punch cards.

The term bug was used when, I believe it was a moth that was attracted to the vacuum tubes, and caused problems with some of the first computers. It was on Who Want's to be a Millionaire.
