Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If I wanted to paste in some ASCII art here, what would be the easiest way?
The <pre> tag would work, but the font is too narrow. Maybe a <pre> tag inside a <code> tag?
eta:
<pre> and the courier font?

Because books.
Here's a possibly very dumb computer question (please, bear with the techno-illiterate):
I want to configure my Gmail account to open in Outlook on my laptop. When I'm using the desktop, though, will the mail still be available in Gmail itself? I see there's an option to keep the messages in the Gmail inbox.
But there wouldn't be a way to have it configured for Outlook in both computers, right? Or I am thinking about it wrong? Is that the computer I'm using will place the mail where I tell it to, and it doesn't have as much to do with Gmail itself?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
You could have a hundred different computers connect to your gmail account via Outlook to grab the messages in your gmail inbox, so long as you set up Outlook in every one of those computers to leave messages on the server (i.e. Keep messages in the gmail inbox).

Thanks, Jon! I thought, once I'd puzzled it out long enough, that should be the way it worked, but I wanted to check.
Off to configure.

Crap. Apparently to send my Gmail to Outlook, Outlook wants to download my entire account -- inbox and outbox -- and is (after the third send/receive session) only on September 2005.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister is in the UK with her US bought iPod and a non-voltage adaptor (not quite sure what that means yet). Can she just plug the iPod into that?

If she were in the US with a UK adaptor, I'd say, yeah, sure go ahead. But I would be extremely cautious going the other way.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
She might want to look at her travel charger to make sure it's multi-voltage (it should say something like "Input 100-240V, 50-60Hz"), but I had no problems charging my iPod with just a plug adapter in either the UK or France.
