I have another old school time-waster for you today. For those who are familiar with Telnet, skip to the next section.

PART ONE:

If you are reading this, I will assume that you are not familiar with Telnet.

Telnet is a way of connecting to computers remotely.

I won't bother you to use telnet in the traditional way. Let's just do it the easy way. Click this link to log onto the U.S. Library of Congress telnet directory.
