This Tetris company may be for real. >From what I know, the author of Tetris just received permission/rights /whatever in the last year or so (more than 10 years after he originally made it) to make money from Tetris. I suppose this has something to do with being Russian. Very likely, most of the money that was to be made from Tetris has already been made, so he's had to resort to making money "retro- actively", so to speak - with lawsuits, etc. I can't say I blame him, thinking of how huge the game is/was, and that he made next to nothing from it. None of my information is from a primary source - just pieced together from what I've heard - if anyone can confirm or deny this, I'd be quite interested. -- Robin Harbron macbeth@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.tbaytel.net/macbeth -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
