    Agreed. Flash is a mess; why the hell do 'programmers' praise it so much:huh: Shame YouTube et al. relies so heavily on it. Much like better alternatives to applications - Adobe/Foxit Reader, Media Player/VLC, Messenger/Pingu, IE/FF, OS wars - we need a bloody substitute to Flash. Even embedded Flash (Firefox for example) does not solve the problem of heavy - 100 per cent! - CPU usage.

    Sledgehammer/Nut - a faster graphics chipset. :rolleyes2

    (Silverlight....another fine mess :rolleyes: )
