SEVEN SOFTWARE COMPANIES ADDED TO "WATCH LIST"
 
      New York -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Software (PETS)
announced today that seven more software companies have been added to the
group's "watch list" of companies that regularly practice software testing.
     "There is no need for software to be mistreated in this way so that
companies like these can market new products," said Ken Grandola,
spokesperson for PETS.  "Alternative methods of testing these  products are
available."
      According to PETS, these companies force software to undergo  lengthy
and arduous tests, often without rest, for hours or  days at a  time.
 Employees are assigned to "break" the software  by any means  necessary, and
inside sources report that they often joke about  "torturing' the software.
      "It's no joke", said Grandola.  "Innocent programs, from the day  they
are compiled, are cooped up in tiny rooms and 'crashed' for hours on  end.
 They spend their whole lives on dirty, ill-maintained computers, and are
unceremoniously deleted when they're not needed anymore."
      Grandola said the software is kept in unsanitary conditions and is
infested with bugs.
      "We know alternatives to this horror exist," he said, citing
industry giant Microsoft Corporation as a company that has become extremely
successful without resorting to software testing.

                        our privilege is to keep it burning.  If
                        we can send out one beam of splendor, of
                        glory, of elegance into this torn and
                        troubled world, that is worth a man's
                        life."--COL. Alois Podhajsky
