I think due to the popularity of iPhone and iPad that Flash websites and systems will pretty soon all offer an alternative so their sites content will work on these device so its becoming a non issue to me gradually.
Well. it may be a test, or it may be something inserted by the developer. But it was indicative of the experience. Not a good one, IMO.

As to Flash-less versions of sites, these have been around since mobile browsers came to be. But saying it's a" non issue" is like saying that being banned from accessing regular books is a non-issue, because you can read the Cliffs Notes versions. Very 1984.

The Dell IPS monitors are not that far in price from the Apple ones, particularly if you go the refurb route. That's the route I take for most of my Apple purchases, or ebay deals with Bing discount
