[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] I'll have to get Betrayal to look through, sounds good. :) I think it's implicitly stated, albeit vaguely, that the movie takes place inside Flynn's server in the basement lab, literally the "new grid". The first movie took place in and around ENCOM's own servers, which in 1982 may have had the equivalent of industrial-strength modem connections with other servers (hence how the MCP was stealing other programs from SAC and other businesses). The individual arcade boxes obviously weren't networked, and I'm willing to believe that the game being played at the top of the original film was simply Sark and some other program playing on the grid as a parallel to the much simpler version in the arcade, just to show that INSIDE every computer in 1982 you have little guys in spandex outfits running around on awesome motorbikes. Flynn's grid was obviously ahead of its time, and yet large enough chunks of it could be downloaded into Sam's keyfob. One does wonder then what the "actual" internet looks like from the inside now, though, with wifi, social networking and such. The original implies that programs generally look after the people that wrote / compiled / used them. What would it be like now? What if Sam anad Q hooked the laser up to a laptop hooked up to a Starbucks wireless hotspot and hit go? And I'm still thinking Clu had a bad sector somewhere. His job was to create the perfect system, yes - and he did it. Ambition to rebuild the world of his creator after his grid, or any ambition outside of the grid whatsoever, should not have been part of his original programming. However his desire to conquer the world outside came about, I think it was sparked by the same thing that sparked the creation of the ISOs, which ironically are indirectly his creation as it is.
