Please see the Friday, June 8th, issue of the Wall Street Journal (Western
Edition?) for the complete story on Tetris and how the russians got screwed
more by the communist system than anything else. What is also clear from
the article is that if Spectrum Holobyte doesn't have a sublicense from 
Nintendo to sell Tetris then _they_ are the ones who should have their
software recalled. Anyway, it is a pretty sad story. The message seems
to be not to trust U.K. software publisher/distributors ;-)

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
