tron v.

[NRL, CMU; prob. fr. the movie "Tron"] To become inaccessible

except via email or talk(1), especially when one is

normally available via telephone or in person. Frequently used in

the past tense, as in: "Ran seems to have tronned on us this

week" or "Gee, Ran, glad you were able to un-tron yourself". One

may also speak of `tron mode'; compare spod.

Note that many dialects of BASIC have a TRON/TROFF command

pair that enables/disables line number tracing; this has no

obvious relationship to the slang usage.
