The previous thread you refer to, was mine. I'm on your side. There IS NO future, that we seek, from my understanding. I keep waiting on one of the "boy geniuses" on the list to save our seamonkey running flash..... But, as the list knows, I'm old and jaded and do not have much faith in the future of Flash, from a linux perspective. But, I think it's a game of "chicken" as Adobe would be foolish to loose this market; so I'm hoping that Adobe blinks and decides to support a future for Flash that works with the open source community's requirements. I would not wager on what is to be. > BTW, I have a regular desktop. My cell phone is still pretty stupid but > it does handle text. Nothing else but text so I'm not that far behind, > yet. Oh, phone calls too. lol > Any other ideas? There should be ARM-A15 embedded boards that are cheap and abound. Just put one on your net (less than 5 watts and less than $200 USD). and you can run X on the A15 and display the (flash)application onto your old Amd or intel desktop. I do a lot of work with embedded processors, and *Everybody but Intel* sees the A15 as the future, even AMD is getting new religion....... Ubuntu has installation media for the ARM-A9 family now and they are making a major push for the A15, currently. One way or another, the 'flash cat' will get skinned. (ps somebody much smarter than me will figure out something cool for us commoners.......methinks). That's why Linux rules and microsoft drools. hth, James
