Thanks. I have come to the conclusion that flash is not available. If there is a power pc mailing list I'll find it and post there. For the time being I can reboot into MacOs and look at the videos there. I also have a windows vista computer that works pretty well. Harold On Tue, Nov 15,

Hi Harold, Maybe you should consider a complete switch over to Ubuntu instead of running MacOS/Ubuntu dual boot. I'd understand if you'd be hesitant to make a full jump into Ubuntu if this is your only computer. If you can experiment on this computer without losing important data, try
