those three have plenty of links to other sites too. nearly all platforms still have strong demo scenes active, from the Oric (no really!) through to the Atari Falcon (and ST/e)
you don't have to be a programmer to take part either, if you can pixel or weild a graphics tablet, knock up a catch chip choon or an entire mp3 album you'll fit right in.
theres an old 4si in my office that does this*, i put a poster above the machine with a screengrab from the film with instructions on how to fix it. most people ask me what the pic is, but a few people have laughed.
* i know why it does this too, the printer is set to A4 but the pc is set to letter...
There's nothing like watching hackers at play. When all of us arrive at the post-CodeCon reception thrown by Google, it turns out we get yo-yos with our free booze. And these are no ordinary yo-yos - they have little LEDs in them that light up. Immediately, everybody has to analyze his or her yo-yo. Ken Schalk, who works on software-configuration management system Vesta, whips out a pocket knife and starts taking his apart. "OK, here's the problem," he opines. "The string in the center needs to be tied a little more loosely, plus the plastic needs to be roughed up a little for a good grip." Once he's hacked it for a while, he shows me a couple of tricks - the yo-yo is zapping everywhere and lighting up and zooming around. The guy is an amazing yo-yo fiend. "You've optimized your yo-yo!" I exclaim. "No," he replies humbly. "I've just modified it."

Technically it would have been his third mistake. There is some redundancy in the first 'sentence'

i agree with this post.

I also have this dvd and it's great, it beats having 5 different types of pc and soundcard lying around anyway
yeah, but you're missing the point:
say it costs 300 dollars for them to manufacture and they sell them at 200 dollars and you buy one - they make a loss of 100 dollars.
now say it costs 300 dollars for them to manufacture and they sell them at 200 dollars and you DON'T buy one, then they have lost all 300 dollars
well, I'm pretty sure the definitive version of Adonis would be able to spell a little better ...
