Interestingly, the patent has two dates on it. Clearly marked is the date of filing, December 14, 1977. However, I am not a patent/trademark lawyer, so I don't know what the second date of September 20, 1983 signifies. Possibly a reissue date?
I'm sure someone else can offer more detailed insights.
Me.
[insert ObNostalgia] I cut my eyeteeth on C64s and BBS- I even had the dubious privlidge of connecting at 50 baud on night. Imagine my joy at finding a great old Door game ported to the Palm. If you don't remember Dopewars (sometimes called Drugwars), it was a great little buy-low-sell-high commodities game. Check out http://pdaguy.com/dopewars/ and snag a copy.
