Star Wars in ascii text

[PorkPieHat]

This is probably extremely old news to most everyone that was on teh interweb about 10 years ago, but I'm thinking there's a bunch of y'all that have not see this. If not, well, bummer.

This is a full recreation of the original Star Wars (Episode 4 for the young 'uns) in ascii text. You will need to view it via a telnet client (the built in windows client works fine).

From a command line type 'telnet', then 'open', then 'towel.blinkenlights.nl' - no quotes of course.

Grab some popcorn and enjoy.
