Am a big time Tron fan since the first movie... and will hold my comments on what Disney is doing to it.

Love the original TRON and what it stood for, the message of freedom of the User, 'freeing' 'programs' (internet, etc). Sad to know the UK police are jailing Users. This is exactly what TRON stood up against. jmho
Understood... and yes very much as have been a coder for quite some time. Pre-BBS days, tho was a BBS SysOp for Heathkit Electronics in the 1980s.

Yes sci-fi geek, camera geek, watch geek, car geek... car geek as a Formula 2000 driver / engineer / technical hands-on changing the gear ratios in the Hewland LD200 (4 sp w/reverse), wings, aero, Penske triple.... Tron video games, especially Discs Of Tron, are great retro fun imho. Also explains why i'm a lume FANatic.
New word of the day: LUMATIC -- Someone who is obsessed with lume.
I was 22 when the first Tron movie was released and when considering the very basic effects available at the time it was an amazing movie and concept. For me Tron Legacy was a bit of a disappointment hopefully it will be a 3rd time a charm and this one using all the technology available now will be great.
My point was that it was a ubiquitous feature all of us could use, and a couple of weeks ago it just stopped functioning. I mentioned it to Bill and he said they are working on a fix, but one is evidently yet to be delivered....
