    Until they have the full Tron experience with light cycles, tanks, and recognizers, all playing in the same 3D environment simultaneously, I'm going to continue to be underwhelmed compared to the movie. *shrug*

    And I want a bit of my very own! (*YES**YES**YES*)

    Perhaps you have more software development and quality assurance experience than I do. Please, explain to me how one goes about testing the limits of a multiplayer game without getting hundreds, perhaps thousands of people to play it online, in the environment for which it was intended. Do you expect the game developer to hire hundreds of QA testers and set up hundreds of machines, each with different hardware and a separate wide-area Internet connection? Ha! Not likely.

    Furthermore, there is nothing in the definition of the word "demonstration" that implies that the demonstration must exactly reflect the nature or workings of the thing being demonstrated. A demonstration is an *example* of the final product, it is not necessarily a fractal representation of the final product itself.
