Flames about Flash

OK, we know that some people don't like to have any plug-ins installed in their browser, and that they are probably in the 4% of people who don't have Flash. But compared to our old system with the FileOpen plug-in, Flash is very benign and (more important for our users) much more compatible with Linux and Mac browsers.

If you're in the 4% without Flash, please use this thread to tell us why (unemotionally, please!). We really need to understand if there is a segment of our users that would not be served by Flash-based bookreaders.

Yes, along with everyone else in the world, we are following the Apple vs. Adobe p*ssing match with great interest.

If you really need to read Numerical Recipes on your iPad, we're proud of you, but we don't have a solution right now.
