Me recreating my old sig by request of Burnout...

This took nearly forever for me to create... I miss the old MCI commands.

now for those of you who forgot this wonder...try looking at it on a 300 baud modem...took friggin' forever...as a matter of fact I stared at that thing for a good six months before I met Max...and that was almost 20 years ago...OY!!! I'm getting old...

... Ah, yes, this brings back memories. Unfortunately, I didn't realize just how colorful that was back then, since I had a monochrome monitor...

Heh, I'm not entirely sure of the color order myself. I had to dig around to find some actual Image 1.2 documentation floating around the Net.

The thing was capable of showing 16 colors, but some of them were not very good for a black background, so I stuck to the first 8 colors, skipping black of course.

... Okay, that was probably way more work on your part to recreate than we all realize. Heck, I know mine doesn't look at all like the original, but was close enough to get the point across. And of course there were differences between it and my sig on most all the other BBS's I was on at the time, since those mostly were WW4...
