Is there a group that's got a discussion of Iron Man? I didn't find
it.

What is the operating system on Tony Stark's office computer? What is
the GUI? I really liked the folder-selected cue, the sort of
aspiration of the string of folder icons along with the highlighting
of the selected folder. The copying command was too quick for me to
identify. Was it a drag and drop?

I liked the movie.

I'm going this weekend. I'll keep an eye out to see if I can spot the
answers to your quiz.

Actually, "Jarvis" in the original comic was Stark's human butler--

Who later became the Avengers' butler when the group used Tony's
building as a base, and who was so shamelessly a baldfaced Marvel-vs.-DC
plagiarism of Batman's Alfred, it became the source of frequent kidding
in the comics.

Thanks, Cap. I'll continue over there.
