George's thread/group about sustainable web design is a great thought. The trend towards flash-tastic websites discriminate, in a way, against people running older machines that can't or haven't been updated to view them. Who is going to install software for each site they visit? many will just move on and miss an opportunity for education or connection.
Plus, i personally hate that so many flash sites will not allow the reader to copy text...it's all embedded. That is not sustainable.

Flash definitely has it's place. Macromedia used to say it was installed on 98% of computers. I'm not sure how those stats have changed recently.
I think flash video is a fantastic tool in terms of accessibility. It can compress and deliver video online better than anything else out there. For users without a broadband connection, this is great.
I guess the point is, use flash for the right reasons. Choose your delivery method based on the content you're pushing and the audience you're aiming it at.
