Thus, that is one solution to get rid of your ads (adblock+ is another, but meh), so you can keep Flash functionality and get rid of crappy Flash animations, while surfing the net. Also, FYI: a lot of sites have built animations with (Adobe) Flash 9, so unless you have a Windows or Mac PC nearby you probably won't be able to load up animations on a Unix PC as the latest version available is 7.
Go to http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform and ask adobe for a native version of flash for FreeBSD. -Garrett
