There's this neat trick you can do in the terminal to play a really interesting animation of Episode 4.

Just open the Terminal and type in

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Enjoy!

This is possible with PCs as well. It's also on a website.

For PCs:

First hit Start.

Then from the menu bar go to run.

Then enter telnet then hit OK

Then enter o towel.blinkenlights.nl and hit enter.

umm...

telnet is an app that remotely connects you to another compupter over the internet.

It's not a hidden thing, and EVERY OS has a telnet app.

Ahh! OK, didn't know that. Sorry.

There are so many hidden things in the Terminal on Macs, it's rather crazy. Thanks for the info on what that really is!
