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.

email, nostalgia

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.

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
