Based on icatar's excellent script - here's my humble submission based on that Window 2000 bootup thingy I was rambling on about earlier ...

code:
BREAK ON

CLS

AT(9,30) "Starting Windows..."

BOX(10,10,12,65,"single")

$COL = 12

WHILE $COL < 64

 AT(11,$COL) CHR(166)

 $COL = $COL + 1

 IF ($COL & RND() ) = 0 ; simulate activiity

  SLEEP 1

 ENDIF

LOOP

AT(15,0) "Hit any key to continue..." get $k

EXIT
