Sites are changing to require flash [8,9] daily:( Youtube works fine with the flash7 plugin. Some bounties have been offered, there was one for 200 dls. and I offered to add 100 more. It was focused on the flashplugin but anything that a regular user (read wives) could use without complaining, would be great, EMO. Maybe someone who is a commiter and would take charge of judging and paying the bounty, I feel others would chip in and maybe we could make it worthwhile. Thanks, ed
