The state-of-the-art computer used for Tron’s special effects had how much memory in 1982?

The answer is: 2 MB. The computer used for all of Tron’s dazzling special effects had just 2MB of memory and a measly 330GB of storage. For comparison, that’s about 6.6% of the total storage space in the very first iPod. Many Disney animators refused to work on the project because they were scared computers would put them out of business. They weren’t wrong. 22 years later, Disney shuttered its hand-drawn animation studio. Ironically, it was Pixar head John Lasseter who eventually brought hand-drawn production back.Source
