We saw Tron: Legacy over the weekend.  It had a plot.
Some plot anyways.  That was a nice bonus.

Bruce did a great job.

I saw a continuity gaff that might be noticed by folks who
were already in the computer industry when the original Tron
came out.  A group from the office went to see the original
Tron.  When I got back I stopped at the office and logged in
to check my email.  The message on login was "You shouldn't
have come back, Flynn".  I figured someone in the group had
rushed to change the system banner.  Anyways, this was a
VMS 3.2 system at a time when the current UNIX was BSD
4.1 with BSD 4.2 being a fresh release.  Sun was a tiny niche
player at the time with a brand new manufacturing facility.

When Flynn the younger works on the system he types
"uname -a" and it says the system is running SunOS 4.0.1.
That release was 4-6 years after the original Tron movie came
out.
