Wow! You're the first person I've heard say Flash is cool! Everyone else I know, hates and detests it as a waste of bandwidth. Even when using IE, I never enable it, and any web site that insists on it can "shove it you-know-where". Fortunately, very few web sites do, because they realise many people would rather visit their competitors, than put up with that crap.
OTOH, Javascript is a necessity, and Michael realises that. To a lesser extent, so is https. As for Java, same applies as for Flash - many/most people avoid it.
