At Mon, 17 Oct 2005 it looks like Andrew P. composed:

Ahh, very good point.  I didn't look at it from that angle.

Yes, the "flash" plugin had me sigh also...  From being used to
using Unix based OS's for a while, I've come to "not" expect
flash to work on anything, sad as it may seem.  I guess it's
like the "unix-fonts" in our browsers, you kinda get numb to the
whole thing.

Thanks for the replies.
