A sad fact

The painstakingly rendered ASCII art and precise columnar formatting in your email signature doesn't work anymore.

It hasn't in a long time. Sorry. I know, I miss it too.

Sad times. I have started seeing gif/jpeg signatures in emails... what is the world coming to?

Y'see, that's where knowing a little HTML helps. Enclose it in pre tags, and anyone reading it in an html-enabled e-mail program will be able to see it displayed as intended. :-D

Oooh! Make a .gif of a screen capture of the ASCII art!

College? Ahahahaha. My college used VM/CMS. If "VMS is a text adventure [and] if you win, you get to use UNIX", then CMS was the installation software for the text adventure, written in Portuguese and translated into Klingon.
