From the article: "Now if there were only a FOSS replacement for Flash."

Gnash is coming. Wonder if it will beat Vista?

I want Flash. Yes, ASCII Star Wars is an amazing feat, but unlike you grumpy old green-screen geekbeards, I want more.

While flash is not my favorite media, I gotta agree with tuxchick on this one. Otherwise why do i bother with a 21" monitor and decent video card. I also wish someone would get busy on a Linux flash creation tool.

Bah! Humbug! I've seen one (1) flash presentation that was worth the bother. It was some Rube Goldberg-ian car commercial thingy. All others have been just bandwidth-wasting garbage. Even that car thing could have been in an ordinary, open video format.

Flash is not as bad as a solution looking for a problem. It's a problem looking for justification not to be exterminated.

grouch,

It would now be appropriate for you to type us a message on your keyboard with the F keys on the left about the evils of ever using a fiendish rat device ;-).

O.k., I admit, I'm praying for Gnash. My eyes are bad enough as it is. :-D
