You are correct. I am terrible at legalisms (libel vs. slander, copyright vs.
trademark, etc.). That's probably why my sister became a DA, in order to one up
me on legalisms. ;)

Well, both Junior and Deep Blue Jr. have been around for quite a while. Junior
won the microcomputer championship in 1997. Deep Blue Jr. started touring in
1996 I think, but I cannot find any references to it before 1997.

So, I guess someone who knows the history of these two programs better than I
should speak up.
