- Flash is a proprietary technology requiring a proprietary plugin. - There aint actually no working Flash plugin for Mozilla on a 64bit processor - I just *can't* read Flash anims on my computer - Flash is meant to display animations, not web content - Flash content is not indexed by search engines - Flash content cannot be manipulated by normal text/HTML/XML tools (x)html/css/js is neither 'clunky' nor 'antiquated' (and FWIW, Flash is based on ActionScript, which is mostly javascript...). -- bruno desthuilliers python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for p in '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.split('@')])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
