And isn't it great, Mike, that a piece of software has a length of copyright protection that extends 70 years (or 90 if the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act holds any water)?
So, VisiCalc came out for the Apple II in the late 1970's and its copyright will expire somewhere around 2050 (or 2070). Boy, I'll bet all of those Apple II owners will be SO happy then to be able to take their program diskettes out of cryogenic storage and freely make copies of them...
