I just finally cracked open another one of my older game boxes from a thift store, and was quite surprised by the disks contained within |
|

originally, it included 3.5 and 5.25 disks of the game- mine just had 2 5.25s in it- Model D3/sx PLUS utility diskette and Virusscan v8.2 UC Computer Shareware Library |

Hi Jason, my name is Stephen Witt, and I'm a producer with Al Jazeera English in New York City. We're doing a story on private cyber-security contracting and I was wondering if you might be available for a brief off-the-record convo sometime today. I know you've appeared on our network before.... |

I'm guessing Disney sent a DMCA notice over the use of Tron Legacy clips. Vimeo would have had to take it down (under their DMCA policy) until the poster counterclaimed |
