TheDraw 4.61 for your ANSI needs, baby! I used to make really awesome ANSI animations. I don't have much art skill, but I would put little stick arms and legs on the smiley-face ANSI characters and make long karate fight movies out of them. Remember iCE and ACiD? WOW could they crank out the ANSI art!
FidoNet was awesome. Definitely the civilian precursor to the internet. Remember when you could first get email addresses through BBS's and the addresses were always like "
[email protected]"
Looking back, that sucked. It was fun at the time, though.
Satellite BBS's kicked ass. Every twenty minutes you could do a search and find new files.
