Quick overview of graphics and characters.

This is the size of  colon right-parenthesis

Bytes: xxxx   1x char and 1x attribute byte per character. 2 chars = 4 bytes.

This is the size of

Bytes:  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx  .gif image, 170 bytes ( give or take.. depending on the graphic loaded ) Animated gif?  multiply x 3

Number crunching nightmare:  


This is assuming AH uses something akin to ansi characters.. and also assuming I remember my old dos programming from 20 years ago.  

Long live turbo pascal 2.0!!!!!

 In case you wonder why the programming jobs are going to India, look above.

I hope your tubo pascal class was an elective

Why?  Am I wrong?


BTW.. Back in it's day, Turbo Pascal ( full blown compiler for < $50 ) was THE thing to be involved in.  Fast and easy to use.  Sure, there were concerns about the size of the executable when it was all done, but until you got into the hefty programs, it didn't take long at all to convert your code into something that would run.

There is no reason to send the image over the net.  Just the 2 bytes for the two characters.  It will be the front ends job to translate that to an image.  

So,
are you wrong? technicaly not.  You would be right if you actually coaded it that way.
Getting fired and your job sent to India, yes
