Well, even Adobe admits that Flash is a dying technology -- Apple never allowed it on the iOS family, it was recently discontinued in most mobile devices... new sites are avoiding Flash like the plague because it won't run in an iPad. For things like video, sites are offering HTML5 alternatives. So, the lack of Flash 12 (or whatever it's going to be called eventually) probably won't make much of a difference for users: most sites should run fine with Flash 11.2, since they are older implementations. And adobe IS committing to do security updates for Flash 11.2. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...
