uh.. i really don't have the numbers at hand but.. i would bet the majority of pc/internet users are sighted. of course you can say otherwise. but that would mean there's a *major* conspiracy around, as most infotechnology devices are designed and built for sighted persons. so in the end, all you retro-cannot-go-beyond-txt leet users can blame the big man for flash and feel good about yourselves.
i use flash for some stuff and i like it. especially now there's open-source tools to develop with. but for you i guess the free software foundation has been possessed by the man also, supporting the gplflash project. the devil is just anywhere.
i for one applaud progress and new media and am also thankfull that retro-yada-yada people like you are a minority (again, sadly, i don't have the numbers to back me up).
