Downloading and reuploading is a pain with a 40MB file, unless you've got a fatty pipe to your desk, and you already have the latest version of Flash on the workstation. Running over commercial DSL would still take a decent amount of time (let alone a modem), and then uploading it takes that much time again.
All it would take would be for the signin screen on MM.com to have a non-flash version like every other page I've found on their site. After that point, everything is plain HTML again. barneyb > -----Original Message----- > From: Christian Cantrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 2:34 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: CFMX Updater 3 Released > > > On Thursday, March 20, 2003, at 01:12 PM, Barney Boisvert wrote: > > > Not to be an ass, but if MM doesn't provide a means to get the updater > > without Flash support (which isn't an option on GUI-less *nix > > installations, > > for example), then you're pretty much limited to illicit distribution > > or not > > getting the updater.
