Mike, Thanks for the link to your page. I did something similar , though not as good, with a radio shack color computer and a teletype. I mounted a light bulb and a photo cell to the teletype carriage. then taped a photograph to the TTY paper and spaced over the picture reading the reflections via the joystick port. I divided the readings into about 7 bins and used various characters from . to $ to print out the picture. From across the room they looked pretty good. Someone with a TTY machine might like to do it for VCF.

While I've seen much discussion about suggested speakers, I've seen ZERO feedback on my suggestion of Sam Harbison. Was there a silent vote taken?
Not at my main email right now; what was it that he did again?
Sam was one of the ASCII overstrike art pioneers. His name is on several of the large prints, such as Buzz Aldrin on the moon, and Spock holding the Enterprise. He was at Princeton in 1973. See my ASCII Art page for details: http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/ASCII/ The last time I corresponded with him (2009), he was in Pittsburgh. Here's a link to his C.V.: http://www.harbison.org/sph3/sph-cv-Feb11.htm Mike Loewen mloewen@cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/
