Hi Jim,

If you have a new MacBook Pro that was manufactured after Apple's decision at 
the end of October 2010  not to include Adobe Flash Player as part of the 
default installed software on the Mac, you'll have to separately install the 
Adobe Flash Player plugin for your browser at:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

This does not guarantee that you'll be able to accessibly play flash content on 
your Mac, though.  And I've also read that earlier flash player versions were 
large battery drains when installed on the Macbook Air models, but that this is 
no longer as true of recent versions. (Near the time that Apple announced their 
decision not to include Flash by default, Ars Technica independently published 
a review of the 11" Macbook Air, and included their discovery that with Flash 
installed the battery life was reduced from six hours to four hours.  A few 
other columns reported similar results for the 13" Macbook Air.)

I'd suggest that if you do have Flash installed, you might at least want to get 
the Click-to-Flash Safari extension, so you can block annoying flash-based ads 
automatically, and only display flash content of your choosing.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
