Trigger,

It's great what are you saying. I'm proud to have meet two computer technicians as you and JediUnit, because you dedicated your own lives to progress and to all the good it could have led.

These some points:

Hehe, "slurped." It's sorta like that in some way. If you look at the laser beam as a straw and Flynn as a beverage.

It makes sense, anyway.

I think that Flynn was actually pulled in and converted into data

The second theory, indeed. After all, we can see his consciousness MOVING TOWARDS the gun, then into the digital tunnel, and finally into the Electrouniverse's area.

, whereas the orange was simply "suspended in the laser beam."

Yeah, possible.

It's just that the MCP used the beam to reassemble Flynn inside the computer world rather than just holding and returning his pattern.

The first theory may bring to a major fault. What's happened to Flynn's consciousness? If really MCP made a "Flynn pattern" out of the lecture, why had the program Flynn's memories and his SAME way of thinking? So, again, it sounds resonable what you're actually saying.

The MCP was a rather intelligent computer. Seeing as how it went and appropriated technology from other big companies. It's not beyond the realm of rational thought.

Oh yeah. For now...

I don't think the world of Tron existed in any comparable operating system we know of. It looked a lot like a command line OS of some sort.

PLEASE, EXPLAIN ME MORE! I don't have a clue about it.

Perhaps in 2.0, we'll see a GUI version of the system and be able to compare easier.

GUI?

Besides, an OS is just an interface that allows the user to communicate with the data.

That's why the programs get their identity disks...
Please, explain me what is OS and GUI...in a specified manner.

The raw data is pretty much always the same no matter the OS. Only the format is different to allow communication to a user through a certain OS.

"Operative system"?



Anyway, I have just received another "INTUITION" from my USER. Is it possible the programs in TRON's world operated their functions THROUGH the "BITS" too? Maybe YORI created the room thanks to her associated BIT, as we can see in "AUTOMAN" (indeed, AUTOMAN is a program!)
Probably, we can't see BITS because MCP stole them, "disjointed" them from the CONSCRIPTS to turn them into unavailable beings.

And what's about the "DATA PUSHERS" Flynn met into the city? What are they, precisely?

"Alakhazam"

What does it mean?

And please, explain me the difference between OS and GUI ...

Previously posted by TheJediUnit:
"Didn't the MCP say, "I'd love to see what you're made of. I wanna chug your carbonated, caffeine-slammin' refreshment... then Alakhazam you into next week."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"BUFFER: (computer science) a part of RAM used for temporary storage of data that is waiting to be sent to a device; used to compensate for differences in the rate of flow of data between components of a computer system."

Okay, thank you so much, TRIGGER. It makes much more sense now... There aren't problems... ONLY SOLUTIONS!


I'm still wondering if the GAME GRID, where TRON ran, was a "proper" part of the ENCOM sytem (as the recognizers and the tanks - after all they were digital projects own by the ENCOM computer itself, so easily reproducible in the same system) or just a GAME GRID in a videogame.
If you see better, TRON & COMPANY were "teleported" in the arena. Transferred. It's probable MCP could "transmit" the programs in other domains, outside the sytem itself, running into the central electric network roads.
After all, TRON and YORI stole the solar sailor to enjoy their origin system - throughout the seas of simulation (electric area?)

Or maybe did MCP just use the infamous laser beam to the programs too?

Data Pushers: "Inoperative Data Pushers" is what yoir called them. I guess that makes them programs that are no longer in use. Think of them as unemployed programs.


Digitizing: Dumont said it best, "A lazer dismantels the molecular structure of the object, and the molecules remain suspended in the lazer beam. Then when the computer plays out the model the molecules fall back into place, and Walah!"

The Game Grid I would say is inside Encoms system. It's just more conveint that way. I mean to get to the MCP you have to be inside Encoms system.

Solar Sailer is just a solar sailer. In the original script Yori said it was an abandoned program a user was once workin on. It travels on an energy beam which could also be interpreted as a data beam or internet connection today.

Man, some of these questions are too deep to ask really. Do you have the Tron DVD? If so watch the making of Tron and other stuff on Disc 2 and the audio commentary on disc 1. Also to understand the changes in the movie refer to the script which is on the net. Remember it's a movie. There's always thing's left unexplined in any movie.

"Solar Sailer is just a solar sailer. In the original script Yori said it was an abandoned program a user was once workin on. It travels on an energy beam which could also be interpreted as a data beam or internet connection today."

An "unconscious" program as the recognizers or the tanks, of course! Yep, great explanation here... I love it.

Hey, I get the 20th Anniversary DVD, 'nuff said. It was my x-mas present this year... ehm, I mean LAST YEAR.

I found your answers pretty satysfing, too.

What's about the script? Where can I find it?

There's one on Guy Gordons site. Theres a link to his site in the fan sites.
