I miss giant signatures with elaborate ASCII Art, and spinning BBS 
cursors over 1200 baud modems! Bring back the 80's man!  (BIG GRIN)  Heh 
heh.

Meh... I used those a lot.  It was a pseudonym.  Wow... that was a long 
time ago...

As an aviation buff, I always liked this one too -- a quick Google for 
ASCII art and a few links, and I found it again...

Of course, airliners now have ETOPS ratings, and only 2 engines for 
International over-water flights... sigh... time and tech march on.

(And pilots still joke that "ETOPS" stands for "Engines Turn Or 
Passengers Swim", and always will!)
