[Heathkit] BAMA and Heathkit docs???

[sfbonk at aol.com]

Those of us who remember paper?may remember Data Pro. This was an information service for technology products and providers. At the dawn of the Internet age, they were bought out (I think by Gartner Group?). I would think that whoever bought datapro then, got the intellectual property rights to the name. Doing a google search on Data Pro brought up a "real" software company. Again, interesting on the intellectual property rights to the name.

Well, the copyright doesn't expire until 70 years after the death of the author or before 2047?
the way I read it, if in fact they were filed with Copyright office.?
