Yesterday, I was trying to show of the 'better' OS (Mandrake 8.1) to my daughter, who is a major Harry Potter fan. We went to the Warner Brother's site (http://www.harrypotter.com) to 'enroll' in Hogwarts and go to the Quidditch practice pages. But I kept getting told that I had to install Flash and Shockwave. I checked the plugins on the browser (I tried both Netscape and Mozilla (and Konqueror for that matter)) and they appeared to be installed, but still not working.
I tried installing from macromedia's website, but that effort kept crashing the browser. Which leads me to the questions: 1. What browsers in Linux support Flash and Shockwave? 2. Why didn't the installed plugins work? Version conflict? I'm trying to convert the family to Linux, but with demonstrations like these, I just proved to my daughter that things work more smoothly in Windoze. Yuck. -Paul "Well, how did I get here?"
