If you (are old enough to) remember UseNet and .sig files - just imagine hitting ascii art like that on 2400 baud modem while trying to read a bbs post!!

Wow, you could seriously win the Resident Geek award with that comment.
But then, with a bitmap avatar like that, I figure you were hardcore.
I remember my first modem. It was a hand-me-down 300 baud, and 2400 just came out (but couldn't afford one back then). Of course, ascii art was already in back then, but I've never seen animations like that until much later on the internet. Oh yeah, if I knew it was possible back then... and on a 2400 baud, I would've flipped my gourd.
/me tries out his LOLLERSKATES for old time sake...
