I can no longer see answers to questions or added comments to posts.

I was able to view them last night. 

What happened to all the Maple 5 applications at the maplesoft application center? 

Why just the other day I was looking at them.  Very dissappointed to see them "removed".  In particular a series of applications for mapping. 

The drop down option for Maple5 has dissappeared. 

Are they gone?  Can you put them back?

The maplecloud may in some respects reduce the sharing of applications on mapleprimes and at the maplesoft application center.  A maplecloud user may instead of sharing his application via mapleprimes applications or the maplesoft website may just make his worksheet publicly available over the cloud simply because it's easier to do. 

It is true that mapleprimes is a different type of serviece that allows the interaction of ideas/questions as well as the sharing...

Mapleprimes takes unusually longer to load than used to.  And some people complain about being emailed 3 x's I'm not sure it's fixed but I've noticed my page actually loading 3 times before it actually comes up.  I'm on dial up so I can notice things people on high speed won't notice.

One other thing possibly very important to the web program designers of this site.  If I load the mapleprimes web page and say stay offline, it does this 3 times. ...

In a theme similar to the movie Matrix a little procedure to create falling random number animation, and in this example 0's and 1's hence the name binary rain.

MatrixRotaterows := proc (arows, bcolumns, randstart, randend, iterations) 
local a, i, b, c, d, e, f, g:
a := Matrix(arows, bcolumns, 0):
for i to iterations do
  b := Matrix(1, bcolumns, rand(randstart .. randend)):
  a := ArrayTools:-CircularShift(a, 1, 0):
  a[1,..] := b:
