Unmoderated] Seehund boycotts ANN

Seehund recently discovered that ANN is viewable with Microsoft
products.
Gothenburg, March 18 2002.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Seehund has discovered that the digital content called ANN
(Amiga Network News) is usable with products made by the Microsoft
Corporation.
Seehund unearthed these horrible findings as he typed the text
"ann.lu" into the MS product Internet Explorer. "I was shocked and
disgusted when I saw that ANN displayed just as if I had been using
an Amiga browser! I consider this a treason against everything we
Amigans stand for", Seehund said.
Seehund has conducted further investigations and has come to the
conclusion that ANN uses a technology called HTML, which apparently
is spread all over the Internet. Seehund continues: "This is
totally unacceptable. In fact, I am not going to visit any Amiga
news sites at all until they do their publishing exclusively in the
perfectly fine AmigaGuide format."
Seehund also noticed that such great and legendary sources of Amiga
knowledge as "OverShaker" (www.nowee.org) are running Microsoft
Frontpage extensions on their web server.
Furthermore, Seehund recommends all Amiga users to remove and
destroy any peripherals, expansions and accessories that can be
used with Microsoft products from their computers. "I hooked up my
monitor to a PC (ack! spit!) and was horrified to see that it
actually displayed anything the PC dared to throw at it. And your
harddrives! Can you even begin to imagine the vast potential of
storing the evils of Microsoft that these suckers have? I'll also
throw out my Amiga 4000, now that I noticed that the SIMM modules
in it can be used with some computers capable of running Microsoft
operating systems. No, it's gonna be A500 all the way now, baby!",
Seehund continued.
These new Seehund policies has gained momentum in the Amiga
community, after it was discovered that the Amiga Incorporated
product "Amiga Anywhere" will, in fact, run almost anywhere.
