Re: FLASH: RAM Alotted to Flash [OT]

[Helen Triolo]

Gaack, Frederico, your message makes me think I'd rather chop off my

left hand than try to use a Mac!  (Just when I was thinking it was about

time to go out and buy one...)  Do you really have to worry about all

that er, fillintheblank, to get Flash to run on a Mac?  I guess this is

really a rhetorical question, since I can imagine the answer is

something along the lines of "Well, do you really want control over your

system or do you want to keep using your inefficient old bloatware

system?"  Guess I'll stick with my turn-it-on-and-it-works bloatware for

now.  ;-)


Counting the minutes to see how long it takes Mr Gregory to come up with

his detailed answers,

Helen
