To me I find it kind of a oxy moron to have to load a Windows Application in wine, in order to complete a secure financial transaction. I wish there was a way for the FreeBSD community to let Adobe know that we are out here. I know there are online petitions and I have signed them. I know the topic of flash 9 gets brought up every week on this list, or so it seems. but does anyone know if someone is working on getting Flash9 to work in FreeBSD? if there is someone working on it, maybe there should be a wiki page since Flash9 is such a popular port. I can say that I have saw a report from someone last week saying that the new linux 2.6x emulation in 8 -current still does not make the flash9 port work in a stable manner. Sam Fourman Jr.
