Our Review: Yay for Boris! This is cool program that will take a JPEG image and convert it into a whole lot of lines of text which if you blur your eyes and squint a bit will look like the JPEG, you really have to see it to believe it! It will also print lines of text in any font you like in ascii and save to html.
Yay!
