Was it supposed to do something? It just sat there, and then command prompt disappeared. Did I miss something?

Don't click on it. Copy " telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl " and paste it on Run. It suppose to show an ASCII version of Star Wars Episode IV.

I just clicked on it and it worked. I don't know what's worse, that I took the time to watch the entire thing or that someone took the time to make the entire thing.
