Movie Tron celebrates 25th anniversary
In 1982 Disney`s Tron started in the cinemas. The movie is about a programmer (played by Jeff Bridges) who gets "digitized" and finds himself inside a computer where he is forced to play the gladiatorial games he wrote. Tron was something of a milestone for computer-generated imagery.

After 25 years Computerworld spoke with John Knoll, a visual effects supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic. Knoll served as visual effects supervisor for such films as Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek: First Contact and Mission: Impossible.

The racing game which got famous from the film is available as Open-Source for several platforms as GLtron. (nba) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: DiskLED.docky 52.3
DiskLED.docky written by Jörg Strohmayer displays the activity of up to 12 drives and is supposed to be a replacement for the real HD-led (e.g. if there are more controlers than LEDs or if the LEDs are hidden). Changes since version 52.1:
  • 52.3: Added support for SERIAL and PARALLEL devices, the colours are now:
    • trackdisk: green = read, red = write
    • sana2: yellow
    • serial: blue
    • parallel: white
  • 52.3: If less than 9 devices are monitored the displayed LEDs are centered.
  • 52.2: No longer allows adding it twice to AmiDock which crashed.
  • 52.2: Should now work with all PPC native TRACKDISK devices.
  • 52.2: Added support for SANA2 devices, using a smaller delay for disabling the LED and different colours (blue = read, yellow = write).
