| While I understand how companies need to migrate towards only supporting current platforms, it has always been frustrating how flash updates only work on platforms from the last year or two. This has always been a point of contention when doing anything utilizing flash and why there needs to be an open standard format already for such media. Especially on the Mac platform, since it has gone through so many technological migrations the last dozen years. Enough of these silly proprietary games, it is time to develop for a new paradigm and leave these platform issues behind. Plus as someone that still owns a couple of PPC G5's as well, and 2 MacIntel Tower pro's, it is frustrating to see how my older machines are still productive for certain features but there is no path to keep them that way. As the new OS's and updates to app's like flash make it impossible to keep running these machine. And I have no desire to update my MacIntel Towers to Lion so that my useful machines can become giant iOS toys that are no longer productive, but golly gee whiz they are so much fun to play with. Funny thing is, PC's can still run apps and plug-ins from the lates 90's if they want to since that platform, even with all of its Microsoft OS's weaknesses for viruses and hacking, has remained reversed engineered since the beginning and Flash updates are not a issue.
