doesn't work on MS-Windows os.

Worked for me on XP, with VC++ 2005 express. After dropping the ".h" from iostream header.

Well, I can't say the system(pause) worked, I killed it long before the movie finished.

I created a cmd.exe command prompt window and tried to execute "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" -- got error that telnet now found.

*&^%$# Vista Home.... telnet is not installed by default. See http://tinyurl.com/2fgoy8 for steps to activate it. When the dialog says "this may take several minutes" it's not kidding!
