I got the two-disc DVD set of the movie the day Disney released it. First time I'd seen it widescreen in a long time.

I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Sound familiar?

While cool, I was a bit disappointed. I was hoping for the classic tron video game with the 3(?) separate modules, discs, tanks and lightcycles.

I suppose that's why we have MAME.

I remeber going to DisneyWorld the summer that Tron opened.

The arcade there had about 50 Tron games lined up and every one of them was taken.

I loved that game. Used all my souvenier money for the trip on Tron.

sorry, wasn't taking a dig at ya.

"Sound familiar?" should've been "Sound like any software company we know?"

Actually, I'd love to see Jobs vs. Gates in a light cycle duel. (Gates ' cycle would, of course, be continually crashing, while Jobs' would be unexplainably "lickable")
