If that happens, the Telnet window will probably close. This will open the Telnet client that you enabled above, and automatically direct it to the website shown. ![]() In the “Open” field this time enter the following: “telnet .” Make sure you type it exactly as shown, except without the quotation marks or period at the end.

In honor of Star Wars Day, I’m going to show you how to watch “Star Wars: A New Hope” - that, despite being the first movie made, is somehow episode IV, but we won’t talk about that right now - in ASCII art, in a window on your computer. That’s what brings me to the little gift I have to share with you. I’ve seen far more elaborate examples, from Snoopy to the Mona Lisa, that can take up entire screens - or sheets of paper when printed out. If you don’t see the heart and smiley, try tilting your head to the side. The simplest examples of this include <3 (heart) and : -) (the original smiley - precursor to today’s rich suite of emojis). Geeks, being who they are, sought out ways to express themselves on the computer beyond mere words, and ASCII art was born. The set of potential characters they could use was - and, indeed, still is - defined by the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, or ASCII. Back in the day ( way back - remember, I’m an old geek), computers, and even many printers, could only display text - no graphics. ![]()
