Sounds good Kat. There is certainly lots of fodder for that, considering that there is Maleware, Spyware, Keyloggers, Trojans, Worms, Rootkits, Botnets, Firesheep, and loads of other real life bad things that could be used as Tron villans.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Funnily enough, I actually started it today. Though the premise behind it is that the program belongs to a woman who hacks into servers and steals information, then sells it to identity thieves. And then they come across something really bad...at this point I'm thinking some sort of political corruption like weapons sales or terrorism, and she has to try to decide if she's going to blow the whistle or just ignore it. I'm actually about to post on the fan fic thread about it because I'm having logistical problems with it. It actually doesn't involve Tron at all (I thought about it--at some point she tries to hack into the Encom servers and meets up with Tron, who totally pwns her, of course) but I didn't really want it Tron-related, just Tron-inspired and in the same sort of environment.

At any rate, I'm not sure I'll ever finish it. I don't know enough about hacking to really make it very realistic, and I don't really want to be vague about the whole thing, so I might not get much further than I am right now (about 4 pages, in bits and pieces). And I haven't a clue how to end it.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

MCPcomputer Wrote:Well I can say this:

On other movie forums I saw a lot of younger views like 17 years old saying
Tron Legacy was awesome and they became a fan and were interested in seeing the first one.

When I was at ElecTRONica it was mostly younger fans and teens who kept asking me about my Identity Disc....
And I met this very young boy with his mom who started chatting with me about how much he loved Tron Legacy.... and about how he liked my Identity Discs.. i had two on me that night...
He told me how he was excited to see the first one..

I told him you're gonna love the first one! I won't say to much.. but you
will see WHY there is Flynn's arcade... and how Flynn started out..
and his eyes got big.. and his facial expression was priceless!
I told him ... it's a story from long ago.. from 1982...
but one day soon you will see it...

So just because they are not here..
does not mean new younger fans aren't out there..
for one they probably don't know to type in tron sector in google...
or maybe they just don't go on forums...
most young people these days join facebook etc..
so they probably joined a fan group on there...
and if you look at the fan numbers on facebook
there is a whole slew of em! and a lot of them a from the younger generation...

And once they see the first Tron.. they will be able to experience
the magic and wonder of the first one.. InkyBlinkySue

ALSO: It COULD be.. that a lot of programs
are simply busy watching Tron and Tron Legacy on DVD and Blu Ray!
I knew I was since the release.. and I have noticed...
less activity on the forums since the home DVDs and Blu Rays have been released...


OMG!!! You have it. It's about the kids. I posted, a while back, about a Father and Son, sitting next to me and my son, at my third IMAX viewing. At the end of Legacy, his son turns to him and says, "Thanks dad, that was cool!". Being a single Father, I knew that dad was a HERO for that moment. A new Tron fan was born and a dad was cool. It made the wait worth it. There are lots of new fans out there. There will be more after Tron 3.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Tron Fanatic Wrote:This has been eating at the back of my mind for a while now and then seeing that another Tron page had been created, I thought, "This isn't a huge community and dividing it in half is just completely unnecessary. Then I thought, why IS the community still so small? Has there not just been a huge film in theaters that made a box office killing?

Anyone have ideas as to why?

just trying to clarify

when you say "community" do you mean a community of
solid tron and tron legacy fans?

or a diverse community where there are those that love tron
those in the middle and those that don't like tron.



I.T. support: yes sir - you click start to turn off your p.c.
