Well, this thread will surely draw fire from all the Flash defenders and Jobs haters, so I'll get my dibs in quick and then run like hell... :)

In the late 90's I thought Flash was way cool. A couple of the early Flash animations were pretty interesting. Then the webpage advertisers got it and overused it to the point of running screaming from the room...

I find Flash annoying as hell these days. Firefox "FlashBlock" is a saving grace.

I won't miss it -- other technologies are better now.

That said, I don't actually give a rat's patootie whether Jobs was right or not; the headline of the thread "...Proves Jobs Right" is premature, even though I agree that it's likely to pan out that way.

Okay, 'nuff said. Here's hoping I get this posted before the thread goes downhill...! :)

Flash allowed the production of Joe Cartoon in the early days before the bandwidth for video was common.

It did its good on the Internet, now it can die.
