     Comments     : After  infection  and  if  the  virus  had been active
                    (after  the  6.th  reset) you will get the following 3
                    different red DisplayAlerts:

     1)             It has come to my attention that the person using this
                    computer is a LAMER. (*)
                    We  the people, who are responsible forthe "Revenge Of
                    The  LAMER  EXTERMINATOR"  Virus,  believe  that  only
                    intelligent  folk  are  fit  to use the AMIGA Personal
                    Computer
                    Since  you were apparently not smart enough to prevent
                    infection of your computer and software by this virus,
                    (You  should  have used a condom), we must assume that
                    you  are a LAMER (a.k.a LOSER) and therefore we had no
                    alternative but to erase your floppy disk(s), in order
                    to get your attention.

     2)             We  are  eagerly  looking  forward  to the First Amiga
                    magazine  that  explains  the  inner  workings of this
                    brilliant (at least we think so) virus.
                    However,  we  are  not very confident, since the three
                    versions  of  the  original "LAMER EXTERMINATOR" Virus
                    have  never really been properly analysed in any Amiga
                    magazine
                    We  have  made this virus a little bit more aggressive
                    so  that  more  people will recognize it and hopefully
                    will  learn  something  so as to overcome the dreadful
                    disease of LAMERism
                    By the way, the A in LAMER is pronounced like the A in
                    DAY.  (LAMER  people do not know proper English in our
                    experience)

     3)             Signed:
                    Foundation  for  the  Exterminator  of  LAMERS.  (* *)
                    (*)  You  can  recognize  a  LAMER or LOSER as someone
                    who  can  only  use  the  Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga keys on his
                    Amiga, and might even know how to load X-Copy...
                    (**)  Due  to the primitive and violent nature of some
                    LAMERS,  we  have  decided  against revealing our real
                    identities, so as to prevent unnecessary visits to the
                    hospital on our part !
