The new symbolics doesn't have ascii art, which some people liked,
but other found very annoying (especially for anything that didn't
fit in 80 columns). You can still use maxima to get this (or sympy,
though I'm not sure of the command needed.) E.g.
sage: print expand((1+1/x)^3)._maxima_()
3 3 1
- + -- + -- + 1
x 2 3
x x
Even better,
sage: show(expand((1+1/x)^3))
