this OS can't use Flash, at all.
3) Getting Flash working on Linux on 64bit machines is temperamental at
best. Ditto for some of the BSDs
4) Flash in not Free software (as in it's not available for
redistribution/ modification/ code analysis), so some people won't/ can't
install it at all, whether it's available for their computer or not.
5) Flash is one of the most abused web technologies in the world ever.
Disabling it by either not having it installed or using a flash-blocker
type app/extension can save a lot of eye-bleeding pain from those crazy
kooky marketing guys.

Actually, there's a fabulous article in this month's 'Creative Review' about how flash 8 is like, totally f'shure going to be the coolest thing to happen to marketing in like EVAR, which goes on for three pages and doesn't once mention accessibility. Looks pretty though. ;-) - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.
