As I pointed out to Tedd off-list... How many blind users are going to bother to install Flash?... And, of course, Linux users are SOL, unless they've finally got their new version out of Beta where people can find it. Unless you're Richard Lynch, who has GIVEN UP on installing Flash ever again, since it always sucks down way too much RAM and CPU and frequently crashes, and you can't leave the browser open after you use it without sacrificing all that RAM/CPU you'll never get back again (until you close all the browser down)... I've reached a point where my Flash experiences have been too unpleasant to make it worth installing (much like Microsoft software) and my usual entree (Google) almost always finds me a non-Flash version of the content I wanted. I haven't missed it yet. And it's nice to have a lot of ads replaced with a simple white box with a green puzzle piece. :-) This is OBVIOUSLY just my personal opinion and choice!
