How to watch ASCII StarWars movie in your command prompt?

Do you know that you can watch Star Wars movie on your System in the command Prompt..? 

Know How...!!!
Let me tell you beforehand that you need to have "telnet" enabled on your system.
To watch ASCII Star Wars movie in the command prompt, follow the steps below:
For Windows:
1. Go to Start and then select run
2. Type cmd to enter into command prompt.
3. Now, type "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" without double quotes and then press enter. (As said earlier, ensure telnet is enabled on your pc or laptop before you do this process) 
For other OS users:
Users of Mac OS X & Linux can directly execute the code "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" in the terminal window.

P.S: What if telnet is not enabled on your PC?
It's quite simple. Telnet is turned off by default in the latest versions of Windows. So, in order to watch star wars, you must first enable telnet by going to Control Panel › Programs › Turn Windows Feature On or Off and ticking both the telnet check boxes. After doing that, follow the steps given below:-

  1. Go to Start, Search in Windows Vista and Windows 7. On Windows 8, open the main Start page.
  2. Type telnet and press Enter.
  3. In the following command prompt window, type "o" without quotes and press Enter.
  4. Now type "towel.blinkenlights.nl" without the quotes and press Enter.
Make popcorn ready before you start watching the  ASCII movie. By the way,know this too... It's called  "Star ASCIIMATION Wars" by the tech-gigs :)
