Two [unrelated] items concerning PacMan... Since "PacMan" is a registered trademark of some company in the Midwest (the name escapes me now... Williams? Bally? Certainly not Atari!), should we not be calling this new "video" game something slightly different to avoid any LEGAL hassle? Also, did anyone see the "Video Playhouse" sketch on the late nite ABC show "Fridays" about a month back? They did a marvellously strange take-off on PacMan, complete with the main characters dressed in yellow raingear eating marshmallows to the sound of "wacka-wacka" [the munching sound... can't get that through the net!]. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
