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.
