There's a listing on eBay for ASCII art TTY
printouts
(#8707360741) and it raised an interesting question. I
remember as a kid going to my father's office (he worked for
New York Telephone in New York City) at Christmas and they
had various computer systems that they let the kids play on.
One of them (I don't remember which) had a program to print calendars.
In the eBay listing, there's a Snoopy Red Barron calendar,
which I distinctly remember printing out.
I remember these! I made a printout too.
I also remember taking typing classes in high school (1977) and the
teacher had training books that would create a text picture if you
followed the directions correctly. I wish I had them as I'd like to do
some ASCII art.
