You assume they have, anyway. ;) I'm not so convinced of that.
Anyway, you're really only saying it's a given that entertainment type
sites need Flash. You didn't make any distinction as to the type of site
before, you more or less made the unqualified statement that Flash will
make them more money, whoever they are.

Entertainment sites are a different animal. I'm asking about other types
of sites, specifically mom and pop small business since you included
them in your list of those who benefit from switching to Flash. Say, for
example, a local auto repair shop (as one in my neighborhood does). Why
would they think they need a Flash site unless someone thought it would
be kewl?

And most clients don't have a clue as to what they really need, and many
developers prostitute themselves and give the client whatever they ask
for, regardless of whether it is the right thing to do or not. We hear
that in these newsgroups all the time.

And my question was whether it was an informed decision to switch in the
first place. You assume yes, I don't.
Hey, I'm all for making money, but Flash doesn't automatically mean they
will. You suggested it will.
