Here's the short of it.

1. I wrote a game on an Atari 800
2. I tried to sell it, but couldn't
3. I gave it to a friend and he put it on a bulletin board
4. 15 years later the program seems dead, long gone and forgotten
5. Until the same friend finds it on the internet alive and well
6. Happy ending

or if that was too long how about this:

• Boy writes program
• Boy looses program
• Boy gets program back
