sound-light programs are even now astounding. This was on-the-edge shit
and for the most part seems to be dying (what do you do when not coding

They still have a lot of "Demo Parties" in Europe where folks get together
and program pointless "demo" programs to show off their skills and what
they can do with old machines.
This is a phenomenon that unfortunately did not make its way over to the
US :(
