Rumor has it that John Foust may have mentioned these words:

As have I. They weren't all that friendly in Mutt, either... ;-)

I'm sure there are. ontopically, wasn't there a version of doom (original) 
that could be played via serial terminal? It turned all the grafix, walls, 
etc. to text?

Offtopically, mplayer (freeware video player for *nix) can turn *movies* 
into text and play them on xterms... It's kinda... weird.
