A friend just alerted me that the GetFlash link on my site won't take
the user all the way to the plug in, just to a higher MM page.
She's quite computer literate, but was stuck about how to get the
plug-in. The URL I referenced on my site was:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/setupdemo/setup/index.htm

Seems Macromedia won't allow anyone past "/shockwave/" without
making them read all the latest PR.  If this is right, I think it should
be fixed or the page one goes to should make the download easier
to find.  It's obvious to me, but the more I do this work the more I realize
that what's obvious to us designers is often undecipherable to the
average user.
