Sounds liek Tron II.. I wonder if anyone has done research into the
idea that our "reality" is actually a Virtual Reality game that we
have forgotten how to get out of... Sorry for the odd philosphy..
Listening to "Guess Who"...

Any idea when these movies will be out? especially in video, soem of
us don't have movie theatres..

I liek the premise of a accident that digetizes me.. I liek to be a rogue AI..
