Work supplied an ipad for me - what a pain. So many sites use flash its relegated to "toy" status even for web browsing. For my Cisco Netacademy work Ive installed win7 in qemu and access via rdp so I can use view flash, webinars etc. On a recent trip to Europe we took my wifes ipad and at the last minute added my old sony vaio (gentoo) laptop to the luggage - as well we did or we would have been stranded - so many booking/travel information sites use flash ... Reality is (for us) we cant do without being able to view flash content. BillK
