You need Windows and a Modem to run it.

Go to Start/Programs/Accessories/Communications to run the program "Hyper Terminal".

It's a text based interface to remote computer systems (similar to telnet but it doesn't work over the Internet, just on direct dial in connections).

I had one of those 'you have won £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒââ‚ ¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒâ€š £ÂÃâ €šÃ‚£Ãƒâ€šÃ‚à ƒâ€šÃ‚£ÃƒÆ’‚ £' messages, at three o'clock in the morning!
Now if your 'phone goes off at that time it's usually bad news, yes?
So yours truly jumped out of bed grabbed the 'phone and read the text....
'Phone, meet wall....hope you have a happy time.:mad:

Thats a good one:D
One of my (now) wifes flatmates persuaded her that the person she had to speak to in New York (to order something from the USA) was named Ronald McDonald( :D ), he was very persuasive. She fell for it, rang NY and asked for a Mr McDonald, first name Ronald.
....We almost died laughing:D
