No, I mean even for my day time work on Windoze. Luckily I am in the
position to not use content which are delivered to me only through flash :-)

Even on one of my mobile devices which claims full support for flash
(Blackberry), it does not work some times. Example, video streams from
Warpstock last year.

A proprietary software which needs constant security (whose security?)
updates. Nearly no one even knows what was changed in last version.
Nearly no one has a chance to know if it does help for which security
risk. A bloated software which hooks such a lot of computing resources
only to display a few pictures or a video. If I should guess I would say
this crappy shit of software is on of the widest accepted Trojan ever
written.

Sympathy and compassion to all people how can not avoid using flash. But
for configuring systems you surely would not need flash if the designer
of this system wasn't so stupid to decide this way. Hope you do not have
to configure systems important for health or public infrastructure.

Personally I think we should not dream anymore getting full flash
support on eCS - OS/2. Although some people made remarkable success to
run some flash on our platform we have to face the facts. Very soon our
platform can not provide the resources such monster apps like flash
demands I fear.

Enough off topic. Sorry for that.

Cheers,
