Star Wars

Here's a way to watch Star Wars in Command Prompt.

1. Open Windows CMD
2. Type: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
3. Press Enter
4. Enjoy

funny stuff. Also works in pretty much any terminal app, of course:

Oh, wow! I completely forgot about this. Thanks for the flashback/reminder.

Speachless.

cute!
=D

has anyone actually watched it the whole way through.... is it just ANH or is it the 3 of them...? :p

just ANH...

be aware that this is connecting out to a remote server on the internet. so if you aren't online, it won't work

Hehe, cool stuff

Not bad.

WOOT! totally made my day, lol.

forgive my computer illiteracy... what is windows cmd? where do i find that on my start menu? thanks

in the start menu you have a icon callen "Run" click on it and type cmd
This will start the command prompt.

(this what we used to run our computers through during the late 80's before and during the good old Windows 3.1. )

once in the command prompt type the command and press entre. Good luck

except microsoft endorsed virus', malware and spyware of course... and it was all too entertaining to see a windows blue screen on my mates Vista setup.... brought a tear to my eye, many memories to mind, and a huge cramp from laughing soo much

Windows XP Media Centre, Professional Edition all the way... yay for service packs...

Anyways, enough detracting the thread.. how far into ANH does it do? all the way, snipping bits as it goes, or just up to a certain length???

Anyone ever have an old Tandy computer (1000, 1000R, something like that) pre-windows, that ran a program called Desktop? :-P
Lol, I still have one sitting around.
