8 bit letter mail

A blast from the past!

8-bit letter mail, also known as "ASCII art" or "text art," is a type of digital art that uses only characters from the ASCII character set (letters, numbers, and symbols) to create images. This style of art was popular in the early days of computing, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s, when computers were limited to 8-bit graphics.

Here's an example of an 8-bit letter mail:

 /_/\
( o.o )
 > ^ <

This simple image is a cat, created using only ASCII characters. The / and \ characters are used to create the outline of the cat's body, while the ( o.o ) and > ^ < characters are used to create the eyes and whiskers.

8-bit letter mail was often used to add a personal touch to emails, instant messages, and online forums. It was a fun way to express oneself creatively, and many people enjoyed creating and sharing their own ASCII art.

Some popular 8-bit letter mail designs include:

• Animals (e.g., cats, dogs, birds)
• Emoticons (e.g., :), :(, :D)
• Objects (e.g., houses, cars, trees)
• Scenes (e.g., landscapes, cityscapes)

While 8-bit letter mail is no longer as popular as it once was, it remains a nostalgic reminder of the early days of computing and the creativity of the online community.
