    You might have restricted the question to PC software. Tron was released in 1982, but I don't really care what software Disney used on their mainframes. Commented Jun 25 at 16:09

    @MissUnderstands - Tron was edited in the traditional way, it was not edited on a computer (in the spirit of what the question is asking). Yes, there are CGI scenes, and while they were edited on a computer, they eventually would be generated and produce something that was transferred to film. Those film sequences (about 15 minutes or so all said and done) were spliced together with traditional live action film cuts. So no, the movie Tron was not done on a mainframe or whatever, it was a traditional film with CGI and "neat lighting" mixed in. Commented Jun 25 at 16:33

    You might have restricted the question to PC software - why? You might not be interested in a wider answer, but some of us are, and it's the OP's prerogative to ask the question he wants to ask. Commented Jun 25 at 22:47

    @RitcherSr. -- It's about retrocomputing - which encompasses at least every electronic computing device from Eniac onwards, or earlier if someone can make a good case for it. Look at the large number of questions, answers, and discussions of pre-PC systems. Commented Jun 26 at 11:36

    As an old Amiga user reading a lot about the Video Toaster and such things, I'd be offended if the question only cared about the boring PC stuff! (Though the Video Toaster was of course not first in any way) Commented Jun 26 at 18:34
