If you are at your computer working and and want to run Star Wars in the background to pass the time, you are in luck my friend.
You can telnet to a server to watch it now. Let's start the fun:
1. Go to your start menu and type run
2. Type in: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
3. Click ok!
Enjoy Star Wars in ASCII (pronouces Ask-ee). It's the acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a widely used standard for encoding text documents on computers.
For those of you that say this is a complete waste of time, we'll you are partially correct. It's a darn cool waste of time. *This has been out there for awhile, but thought I'd post a reminder for those of you who have never experienced it.*

This is one of the coolest and geekiest thing I learned. Thanks for making me a bigger geek. It's freaking awesome.
Me love ascii wars long time. I think I first watched it in '96 or '97 when I was at Motorola.
@Toby: You are way too cool to be a geek. You are more like a cool cat overall. BTW: Thanks for the nice postcard, always enjoy them! *Hugs*
@Whall: Funny "Me love ascii wars long time..." You sound like Yoda!
