Please return to putting up news items as mp4/wmv/mpg files. 

A small number of us use open source operating systems. Because we make 
this moral choice, we often don't have access to adobe flash software. As 
a consequence, we don't have access to abc online video and news.

We may only be a minority, but we pay our taxes too. And I don't believe 
we should be penalized for our ethical stance.

Please stop trying to lock us into using proprietary software. We do not 
want to be beholden to software giants like Adobe, and we do not believe 
our taxes should be going to helping foreign corporations like this 
dominate the web.
