I haven't forgotten how terrible, and <i>extremely ugly-looking</i> the original was. That they could make a movie with Jeff Bridges when he was about 30, when he was beautiful, and vandalize and hide his beauty, in a movie that looked awful from beginning to end, was a dubious achievement at best. And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the original <i>Tron</i> lay a huge egg at the box office?D.

From library and phone calls to internet.<br /><br />For example: Researching university fight songs over 25 years ago before Google and YouTube.<br /><br />What are the advantages/ disadvantages over time in how access to information has changed things?
