[kwlug-disc] Has anyone want to try out Mozilla Hubs?

I went to see TRON: Legacy with Jason.  Take Jason to any movie with
computers in it and buy his popcorn.  He makes it fun.  Anyway, during the
scene when the boy-now-grown-up Sam is working on the touchscreen terminal
in the arcade's basement, Jason pipes up and says "That version of the OS
doesn't come out until the year after the movie takes place"...

So I spent the rest of the movie watching closely for any other bloopers
just so I could get him back.  It wasn't until about the half way point
when I noticed the guy who owned the End Of Line bar had a very faint
Ubuntu logo on his forehead.  Score is tied now!

Then maybe six months later I noticed in some TRON wallpaper pics that one
of the fighters in the Disc Wars scene was named Eckert..  And Jeff takes
the lead!!!
