For those of you who still have XP, here's a cool easter egg:
1. Open Windows XP and go to Start, then run.
2. Type in or copy "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" without the quotes.
3. Sit back and watch the ASCII movie
Dama, that's not really an XP easter egg or even something Windows specific
You are basically telnetting to somebody's server where the ASCII movie is playing and that can be accessed via any telnet client from a UNIX, Linux, Mac or Windows machine ... but it's a cool movie ETA: I just watched it via an external client on Vista. For those folks who have a fierewall, trying to use that command might result in a warning that you're trying to access the Internet (depending on whether you've used Telent before or not etc.). Relax, it's not a virus. It's just the telnet command accessing an external server
