I have just received some literature from Ann Arbor about their new "Guru"
terminal. I notice that they have trade-marked the word "Guru"!!! Does
this mean that we now have to refer to ourselfs as GU*Us?

When talking about terminals, you will have to trademark Guru, but the term
Guru for an intelligent maintainer of computer systems has been in the
public domain long before they used it so that from a legal point of view
(as I interpret it) they can't even attempt to force us to use G*ru
retroactively. Their lawyers might feel otherwise, so watch your mailbox.
