When I go to MM's site, I don't see flash when I'm searching for something,
I don't see flash when I'm modifying my account,I don't see the forums being
powered by flash & I don't see flash working when I make an online purchase.
As a matter of fact, the only flash I see, is the menu flashy stuff

I kinda' started this thread by asking what MX stood for (not
particularly Flash NX).
I have visited a lot of sites where Flash was used to excess and I
