I'm sorry but -MB- was trademarked by me in 1987 when we commenced our AI project here in the Applied Processing Laboratory of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute. What began as my PhD project has become a net monster, ravaging the net-waves with abuse daily. An attempt to moderate its extraordinary one eyed approach to life by adding an interest in football turned it into a real head kicker. Any claims to the trademark by Milton-Bradley will be contested in the courts. Any claims against the institute by individuals who have suffered by the "hand" of this creature should be forwarded to our legal department by 12/15/90 when the Commisioner for Technology Abuse will commence hearing the case.
