- I got to agree with J. Burger's "duh". Not for any loyalty to the
- Amiga, but that fact that the ad simply won't be readable to a lot of
- people on the net. The post was useless to anyone not using a MIME
- configed browser that deals with MS Word docs (and as S. McDermott
- implies that's mostly PC users). The post is like putting up a
- billboard for a Ford in Detroit but only having Chinese characters in
- the ad!
