And I agree Statt was wrong. However, this isn't quite the same thing.
The issue was: produce a "flashy" WWW-based magazine. One could settle
for the text only via lynx, but if one wanted all the "flash," one
should download the issue and use a SS-viewer. That's how I understood
it, anyway.
I don't necessarily agree with this, either, but you're making a faulty
comparison. Something which I hate.
