Favorite MatLab Demo

My favorite MatLab demo is the coder/decoder. You can type in a regular word or phrase and have MatLab transform it into code by transposing each letter. If you know the code key, MatLab can also decode a message for you. The codes are pretty simple, I admit, and it wouldn't be too hard to solve them by hand. However, it's still a pretty cool idea.
