    Wasn't that to be expected? Embroidery wasn't much different.

    ha -- i wonder how many people went from this page immediately to
    "Bob Neill's Second Book of Typewriter Art"? What a great foreshadowing
    of the Internet from 1984: adorable cat image, and then with each
    image inside, the "code" to type out to make the image, line by line,
    just like early computer magazines.

    I find it charming because i cut my teeth typing in printed BASIC
    listings. Sometimes they made mistakes, more often i made mistakes,
    but it was fun!

    This year i typed in a BASIC listing for a contacts database app.
    The original code would run on all major 8-bit platforms.
    My version runs in QBASIC on DOS and FreeBASIC on Linux.
