Having nice ascii-arts is not good for the readability of menus for this small

file. If not, gophersites will remain only for few nostalgic people and could
run only on desk computers! I sincerely think that Gopher is be more usable on
these small devices than Web because the informations are provided in the
simplest way. Do not miss the opportunity to reach the small devices computers
area by avoiding this “i” item-type!

Modern phones etc all have ludicrously high resolutions though... The poor Sinclair Spectrum only has 256 pixels horizontal resolution and even 64 column text is pushing things... It means I have to truncate and scroll on anything that even comes close to the 70 char recommendation :(
