One of the things I have always enjoyed is on a facebook video game page I am on they will do a random giveaway just for fun and to keep people interested and enjoying the page. So in order to spark some more interest and get things flowing in here I am going to offer a giveaway. Now on the facebook page all you had to do was make a comment to be entered. But I'm going to make y'all work for it just a little more.

1st, you need to comment on this post.
2nd, you need to create a post. It can be about anything.
3rd and finally, you need to comment on at least 2 other posts that others have created.

Lets get the creative juices flowing here people. Can't wait to see what y'all have to say. The giveaway will end on Friday 5/13/16 at 3pm Central Time. Everyone who has met these 3 qualifications will have their name put in a hat and one lucky winner will receive a Tron Property Stamp Disc Free! I will post the lucky winner on this thread so please check back here after the drawing to see if your name was picked. Thanks everyone!

I should stipulate the offer is for US residents only as international shipping is killer, thanks.

I loved TRON! I'm not sure my friends were into it. maybe more than Xanadu, which I saw at the other theater in town back then (both are gone and replace by an 8-screen Reel Theater Cineplex...

The hot dogs are nothing to write about, but I saw Guardians Of The Galaxy there. I couldn't tell much difference between the digital projector and the old film projectors of years earlier but then again I hadn't really seen a movie since TITANIC.

Disney was a few years ahead of the world at that time, and nobody got it until they owned ABC, ESPN and the rights to Marvel Studios so now they are somewhat of a behemoth, the likes of which Ol' Walt never could have dreamed of.

Typo fixed so the context of this post is lost, hence the EDIT

Looks like it made it (without any help from Barry Manilow)!

I looked in there and took all the contents out and nothing looking broken, the box was in great shape, so I'll get it going after dinner tonight!

Glad it made it. I hope it works. Let me know how it goes. Now you just need to get a remote for it.

Here is what I fixed if you are curious.

I watched the first twenty or so minutes, with some testing of the fast scanning, the disc is in far better shape than a videocassette from then would likely be, the quality was pretty nice! No complaints about the video quality for a home video of that era.

I patched it in from the RCA jacks and coaxial out that feed my stereo and 19" Sony Trinitron from the early 80s.
