+A BASIC program that produces a Matrix-like display on Apple II computers.
+
+To get this running on your machine, you need to get to the Apple's BASIC prompt, and then
+type in the lines as shown. There is no text editor; simply typing in a line preceded by a number
+adds it to the program buffer. Then type RUN.

+
+history and sightings
+=====================
+
+I first created at Vancouver Mini Maker Faire, in June 2012. I saw an old Apple II running a lacklustre demo and I decided
+to bust out some quarter-century old skills. The owner of the machine graciously let me use it for a half hour or so, and
+with the help of some other bystanders we got this:

+
+Next, I saw an Apple II at Panic Software in Portland, during the XOXO Festival in September 2012, and decided to 
+type it in. It's been photographed by a number of people since then, including Scott Beale of Laughing Squid:
