Mac user? Star Wars fan?

all you mac users out there (ARE there any around here?) go check this one out:

go to your Terminal application (under Utilities)
type the following:
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
hit enter

it's all of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope up until Leia's rescue... in ASCII. absolutely amazing.
someone has too much time on their hands.

It works on PC too, you just have to use a terminal emulator, like PuTTY.

And yes, some of us here are mac fanatics.

I think I saw that back when I was in grad school, Ibby. About a decade ago.

There's nothing new under the sun.
