Cute. :) After a quick fix to my code, this works in my Applesoft emulator:

http://www.calormen.com/Applesoft/

(Not being a 6502/Apple emulator, just Applesoft, it only supports a handful 
of PEEKs. Although it supported PEEK(-16384), GET would basically clear the 
keyboard strobe before blocking.)

If you have any other educational examples I'd be happy to post 'em.
