<marketing gobblygook snipped> Yes and No. Unfortunately, many web "authors" are using Flash as a display medium. The guilty include Novell, as you can see a Flash-based advertisement right on their home page. For those of you not using *nix as a desktop, this is kind of a non-issue, because you won't need flash to run. However, for those of use using SUSE/Unix/Linux as a upgrade from Wintendo or the Cult of Mac, it is a necessary evil. Until I got the beta of Flash 9 running, I was shut out of many websites. Some were just using Flash 8 for marketing stuff, while others are actively using Flash as a browser-based application framework. For example, while some WebOS application vendors are using AJAX, others like g.ho.st (http://g.ho.st/) and Desktop Two (http://desktoptwo.com/) are using Flash as their engine. -- kai - [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com wo ist der ort für den ehrlichsten kuss ich weiss, dass ich ihn für uns finden muss... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
