The OhGizmo site blog just informed me of a new way to watch the original Star Wars movie on my computer. But it’s through TELNET. Now, I guess I’m not the epitome of geekitude but I never did much with TELNET that I remember, and I’ve never really written anything or drawn any pictures with ASCII characters, but this is pretty cool.
Just follow these instructions from the OhGizmo site to get your Star Wars groove on.
If you?re using Mac, open up Terminal, or ?CMD? from the run option of your Windows PC. Type in ?telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl? and hit enter a few times. Your truly geeky, wonderfully remastered ASCII version of one of the greatest films of all time will start shortly. Should you have IP V6, you get color!
