    Ahh, very good point. I didn't look at it from that angle.

    Yes, the "flash" plugin had me sigh also... From being used to
    using Unix based OS's for a while, I've come to "not" expect
    flash to work on anything, sad as it may seem. I guess it's
    like the "unix-fonts" in our browsers, you kinda get numb to the
    whole thing.

    Thanks for the replies.
