dougefresh Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 Its pretty cool. I just found it out. 1. Open Windows XP and go to Start, then run. 2. Type in or copy "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" without the quotes. 3. Sit back and watch the ASCII movie I use a Mac, so I cant watch it all the time. Thanks a lot, dude -- you just brought productivity in my office to a screaching halt. There's 10 of us all watching Star Wars in ASCII now. Hehehe .... I believe that is possibly the deepest commitment to nerdery I have ever seen in my life. Thanks for passing that on! It's hilarious! Quote

trooperstormy Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Posted November 29, 2007 You have to be connected to the internet for it to work. Quote
Trskel[TK] Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 Actually what this does is to connect to a terminal (telnet) server in the netherlands, so in theory it should work in any O.S. Quote
Trskel[TK] Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 Confirmed. It works in my Linux machine! :lol: Quote
