I had to download Flash yesterday just so that my son could use the
Thomas The Tank Engine website. He got so bored waiting for it to
download he'd lost interest by the time something useable came up.
That's why I only use animated GIFs on my site for animations to keep
things ultra simple. Not suggesting you remove the applet or anything
(we have to progress at some point), just noting that to get
everything to work everyone has to upgrade everything to the latest
all singing all dancing software sometimes.
