I really like Raindrops Orchestra, but hadn't made the Brian Eno connection. Music for Airports (Part II)!

I was intrigued by the sounds, look like it's playing MP3's from http://www.kooriyoo.com/InteractiveLabs/

I’m a huge sceptic when it comes to code competitions – perhaps Terrarium has left a permanent impression

Ah - I went through 3 of those - the oft ignored (from US perception) step in the history of the person computer, not forgetting also the ZX80, ZX81 (my first own machine after using the school board's shared Apple II - with it's 16K expansion pack, interface 1, interface 2, kempston joystick interface, copiable game tapes - no comment - games like Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, Jet Pack and other classics), ZX Spectrum 128 (and other variations), Commodore PEt, the Z88, the BBC computer, BBC Electron, C64, the BBC Master Computer, etc.

I too remember spending ages typing in magazine code machine code only to find it didn't work. At least they added checksums later. It drove me to write my own games. Also fu, was going into a Dixons stores (that's Best Buy to you USians) and typing in code something like this:

10 PRINT "Loading Manic Miner"

20 Poke xxxx,yyyy

30 goto 30

With the right Poke (that's placing a byte value in a memory address) you could make the screen look like it was loading a game... people would stand in front of the machine for ages in anticipation of playing a games muahaha :)
