Stuff from Emma Brad and Phill - Star Wars in ASCII art

This is old news, but I only discovered it the other day. Those that are old enough to remember when computers didn't know what graphics were will probably remember ASCII art. It's where you take a whole bunch of standard keyboard characters and put them all together so that when you look at it (normally from a distance) it looks like art (i.e. it looks like the graphics that the computers were too old and dumb to do).

Some clown has taken ASCII art to the extreme by coding his own version of the original Star Wars movie.

To view it you need a telnet client as you have to telnet to the server that then sends the simple characters to you. If you click on this link then it should all happen for you.
