People that want to be more efficient with their time -- even when watching youtube :) -- don't want to mess around with extra steps. I guess if people have time to care about the fact that they don't want to use a corporate produced plugin but still want to watch content created for that corporate plugin, then they have time to mess with that youtube plugin. Frankly, I -- and the majority of Internet users -- just need to be able to access Flash content -- youtube and other sites -- to get work done quickly and efficiently. The less time I spend on the 'puter, the better. Speaking of, time to go bake some apple tarts, I'm outta here. :) Happy New Year, RUdy
