In my opinion it's not always that simple. Take skydiving equipment for example. This is a small and highly specialized market in which often few alternatives are available. When it comes to gear that my life is going to depend on, I'd much rather base my choice on the quality of the product itself than on the quality of the manufacturer's website, thank you. I refuse to say: "I'll buy that other parachute because even though I trust it less, at least the manufacturer doesn't have Flash on his website." Don't get me wrong, I hate the use of Flash when it has nothing substantial to add and I do try to point out to offending manufacturers that their websites basically just suck ass, but I for one can't afford the "you use Flash so I won't buy your stuff" attitude. I value my life a little bit too much for that. When buying cars, CDs or other everyday goods there are so many alternatives that you can safely avoid Flash and simply buy your stuff elsewhere, but with more specialized goods there often simply aren't enough (viable) alternatives to do so. Just my two cents, Alphons -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. If you want to experience the element, get out of the vehicle.
