You can say the same about Java, really.

How else can you get fonts other than the few standard Windows ones, circa 1980, to show on all browsers, then?
That's not the point of what I have installed now. The point it that to use flash for a critical part of a website is asinine. And it breaks all kinds of rules of web browsing. If I was to web browse to Astak's site (uses flash for the menus) from my wife's iPod Touch because that was all I had available at the time, I'd not be able to do much there. So really, anyone who thinks flash is good for menus should NEVER be allowed to design a website.
