[ Hilarious story ]

Back in ye olde Usenet days, someone had an animated .plan which was all about the "Andalusian snail" (the "@" character was the= snail).=C2=A0 It used
ANSI escape sequences, showing it in the 25th line (the "status" = line),
and was quite funny.

Of course, you had to have the right speed; too fast, and it just zipped past, and too slow, well, it, just crawled along :-)=C2=A0 ISTR that 9600 w= as
about right.

Anyone remember that?

Oh, my .plan in those days said "To rid the world of Intel chips"= (sorry
Clem, but this was back in the days of Intel vs. Moto).=C2=A0 It now reads = "To
rid the world of M$ software" but these days the finger service is generally blocked.
