Okay, so it’s been awhile since the movie The Matrix came out, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun with Notepad to make our own nifty Matrix effect.

So, open up Notepad and copy/paste this text into the window:

@echo off

color 02

:start

echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%

goto start

It should look like this:

Now, save the file as Matrix.bat somewhere you’ll remember – I just put mine on the desktop.

^[2]

Double-click it and prepare to go down the rabbit hole one again.

^[3]

To stop the Matrix madness, simply close the window.
