Well....if Flash plugins are no longer necessary, then why did it tell me
that I needed to upgrade my Flash Player when I visited the site you
referenced as an example. In my humble opinion, you will want your site
accessible to as many users as possible. I also am leary of sites that
require me to load additional software ( plug-ins ) to be able to access the
site. Often, I skip on to the next site when I get a message like
that....just my 2 cents worth.


Thank you,
