Lassoers

We seem to be having a bizarre trademark issue today with an organization claiming to have used "Lasso" from before our time (*cough* 2009), which I believe are without merit. I also believe that there are people on this list who predate my own use of Lasso. I won't say when I started, as it will make me feel older than I wish to remember. Needless to say, the time to formally trademark Lasso has arrived.

Note that LassoSoft Inc. has dutifully maintained the use of "Lasso" and the rights to all previous companies for the name and IP back through Omnipilot and Blueworld. But, we need help proving that Lasso was purchased by "customers" and existed as a product (formally, web links haven't been enough) from before 2009. Especially in an "enterprise" environment - but all environments are relevant.

I hereby offer the bounty of a free LassoSoft mug to the three individuals who can come up with the oldest three formal examples of physical proof of ownership of Lasso (before 2009). Did you use Lasso in the 90's? Do you have one of these?

- A copy of an old invoice for Lasso
- A scan or picture of old Lasso packaging
- Any other proof of purchase of a copy of Lasso

Please - send me a picture or a link to a picture of one of these - with a date of usage - your oldest example would be fantastic. Also, for fun, we will be posting them on our site - so if you are in the picture, remember to smile!

Who has been here the longest and can prove it? Let's have some fun!

Thanks a mint!
