well said, Colleen.

I'm not sure I'm understanding "the rest of world" when it comes to web

design and using Flash.  When radio and print was the only means of

communication, and the television came out, not everyone could afford to

switch.  But now it's no longer an issue.  If they want to keep their black

and white television and never make it to Oz where there's colour then it's

their choice, but you don't see "them" hounding Circuit City to only stock

B&W TV's.  So why are WE being hounded to make multiple sites to please

everyone or to eliminate Flash?   TV made drastic changes for the better,

just like the web has been doing.    What really get's to me the most is

that browsers are free so why don't people just upgrade?  Are there that

many computers out there that can't handle a better browser?

I get mean letters from people who hate Flash.  They want me to take it off

my sites.  I would like to say "I bet you still have a black and white TV

don't you?" but I bite my tongue.
