A Qt library port which allows you to port Qt programs to the console! Just imagine a full-featured web browser like Konqueror, on a 386 text-machine! I tried some things, and I never want to use w3m or lynx again, I can tell you that!" Update by HeUnique:While I do approve of the job these guys have done on console QT, I believe they may need to properly relicense their project under the GPL.

From the QT-Console home page:

"You might think we are sick or some console perverts. We do admit, we are console perverts, but consider this: why not? :)"

As an illustration of just how sick these guys really are, I encourage /. readers to examine the following screenshot: Slashdot home page in Konqueror, ASCII mode. Notice the elegant Slashdot logo rendered in text. That, my friends, is a sure sign of a fiendish mind at work :).
