One solution to the whole flash plugin thing, if a client has not installed it yet,
albeit a rarity now with a documented (what was that figure?) 70%+ users having a
flash plug-in installed, is to use the following url:
(http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?)
instead of
(http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash)

The first url makes no mention nor any link to the new flash 5 player. A half
measure, to be sure, but at least you can rest assured that you did not knowingly
participate in sending users to possibly download a buggy player.
