EVERYONE DOES NOT HAVE FLASH!! (sorry for the shouting, not the message)
In my case, only one of my systems has flash, but most have quicktime,
windoze media, and maybe mplayer or xine. I know a fair number of other
people with similar setups. I have no use for flash or shockwave.
Rant:
Macromedia flash is one of the most overused devices for delivering
"user experiences" on the planet. When I visit a web page, I don't want
fancy shifting menus, long animations, etc, I want to see the page.
Vendors that have flash-only web sites don't get my business, only an
email telling them why.
