Wheezy is going out of support and for desktop installations it's well past the time when it was suitable for use. If you are going to use Flash etc then you really need to keep your system up to date.
I want to step up, but with a 4 gig a month quota and each extra gig or part thereof at $10, it will be expensive. This is with Telstra, and none of them will take into account that I rarely go over .6 of a gig. They are all bloodsuckers. This is why those in this bind would appreciate assistance getting a DVD or three now and then from those with enough of a quota, and who are getting it anyway.
Are you able to attend a Beginners' SIG meeting? If so bring your PC and update it there. There is good wifi access at the venue and for a once every 2 years thing this is an acceptable use of it IMHO.
I will also look for a way to let the appropriate people at the ABC know that flash is inappropriate for many reasons, particularly the security vulnerabilities.
But not using Flash would allow naughty people to use a python program to download content! :-#
But requiring the use of flash forces them to make their system vulnerable. Some people complain about NoScript, and yes it can get in the way, but then there are ways of enriching the interactive user experience without such vulnerabilities. I want to "educate" the marketing monkeys, it will be uncomfortable so that there is reason to not forget the lesson.
I can't imagine that working, but good luck with it. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
