Flash runs very well under OS X of course, it has too, or OS X would 
have long since disappeared. It's banned from other Apple devices for 
reasons I don't understand. 

Adobe have some very tasty open-source (and free) software these days 
too. Flex 4 (Gumbo) is fun -- develop serious Flash "apps" with emacs 
and mxml. Flash isn't going to go away because iSteve is "taking a 
stand" or some such nonsense. Same with Winders, for that matter.
