Work supplied an ipad for me - what a pain. So many sites use flash its |
| 21 |
relegated to "toy" status even for web browsing. For my Cisco |
| 22 |
Netacademy work Ive installed win7 in qemu and access via rdp so I can |
| 23 |
use view flash, webinars etc. On a recent trip to Europe we took my |
| 24 |
wifes ipad and at the last minute added my old sony vaio (gentoo) laptop |
| 25 |
to the luggage - as well we did or we would have been stranded - so many |
| 26 |
booking/travel information sites use flash ... |
| 27 |
|

Reality is (for us) we cant do without being able to view flash content. |
