Heard on the news that Magnavox is attempting to take legal action based
on their claim that they own the basic patent on the original video game
concept (way back to the pong things) and that they should receive royalties
from the sale of EVERY last video game product sold anywhere?!?!?!
They are apparently climbing on Mattel now, claiming they own the rights
to Intellivision or something.
