We older ham radio operators using keyborad Radio Teletype (and many of the commercial RTTY operators) would send and receive RTTY art using only the limited, all caps X & O of the BAUDOT keyboard. The best one was the train with the engine, cars and smoke. Others, around Christmas would send the art along with a tune played on the return bell of the system. These would be "saved" to the very early memory system - paper tape - and replayed. A lost art although there are some websites dedicated to this. http://www.rtty.com/gallery/gallery.htm http://artscene.textfiles.com/rtty/ http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/history.htm Nothing new.
