(is it a building in which a collection of comp stuff is archived? is there a west wing with "aaa" displayed?) That would be interesting... I don't know of the existence of a Computer Museum overhere in Europe... Ofcourse many IT faculties of Technical Universities have got huge collections of primitive soft-/hardware, but it's just getting dusted every once in a while... in the cellar... No curator, no historian, no-one who might have the notion this bit-stuff has changed the future forever is getting there. Cos there aren't curators/historians as such... >What is on this list is: List of the image files --- collected so far. There >are approximately 238 files --->>>>>>zoom in on aaa<<<<<<<--- Dunno that list, but there are probably many more ASCII-art files worth to keep. I browsed the web looking for everything i could find about aaa in march, and all i could find about pre-UseNet aaa was on the page you mentioned and on Joan's http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/history.htm and on RADMAN's http://artpacks.acid.org/www/html/intro.html ... and that's a bloody shame... Surely i'm not the only one who hung an ASCII version of Mona Lisa or Marilyn Monroe on his teenage bedroom wall during the late 70ties/early 80ties. Provided for by this educated and popular uncle who worked on a mainframe you only could approach dressed up in a moonsuit... >TIA.....Bill Post (8-o mic -- (still looking for an original Alan Tuering diddle on the web ;)
