Well. Since you (obviously) can't see the computer used to make the Movie,
the question of *when* you saw the movie isn't all that relevant. :-)

Actually, I haven't seen TRON in something like 10 or 15 years. Long time
ago anyway. Let's just call me a DEC geek.

To run on a PDP-11? Sure, those are all operating systems for a PDP-11,
along with RSTS/E, Unix, MUMPS, Forth and god knows what else.

But this hasn't that much to do with VAXen, nor NetBSD, so maybe we should
stop mailing through the list. You're welcome to write me privately
instead if you want to. You can do it in swedish if you do.

The only thing this might have to do with VAXen is the fact that VAXen
comes from the PDP-11. VMS also comes from RSX, but that issue is hardly
relevant here. :-)
