    Microsoft hid a version of Star Wars done entirely with ASCII in the Windows XP operating system. You can try this yourself by going to Start / Run and type:telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl Check it out!

    Not quite a link but still quite a cool vid......... :)

    So its hidden entirely in Windows, but you have to use a protocol you probably never heard of before (since you don't seem to know what it is) to connect to a server in Holland.

    Cunning, cunning Microsoft.
