It amazes me how whimsically groups are created on the altnet.  I just
can't wait to see the huge discussions of cyberpunk that are sure to
justify this one.

To start things off:  How can anyone possibly classify TRON as
cyberpunk?  The whole story takes place in an imaginary world inside a
computer.  Where does a "futuristic approach" et al come into play?
One may as well call Dr. Dolittle cyberpunk.
