I didn't say that FreeBSD's "Flash" support is crap, but in my opinion, "Flash" itself is crap as long as (a) it is mostly used to pollute the web and annoy its users, (b) used in a manner that often leaves no way to get around it and (c) it isn't a standard. Of course those who invest their time to make something work on FreeBSD that the original inventor had not designed to run on FreeBSD deserve a big "Thank you, good work." > It was his problem, and just don't care about him.

Because "the right way" always depends on what someone is going to do with a computer, his way may be the right way for him, but the wrong way for e. g. me. > Being lazy is bad. Not thinking is bad.

Thinking and ivesting time for learning is - for some people - the only way to get through life. They entirely depend on others who (re)install their PCs, attach their printers and get things done. In the result, those people say: "Wow, I'm so clever, that was really easy! I'm a Program Manager!" (I really met a person who called from himself as being a "Program Manager".) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
