I don't know much about TRON, by choice. I've seen mention in various
places, and I read just enough to conclude that I shouldn't read
more.  I didn't agree with their understanding of real time, or of
technology trends, or of development systems and infrastucture. No, I
can't remember the details.

Contributing to TRON - by consulting, or by purchase of the end
products - strikes me as giving support to something that should
die, please.
