The vast majority of things for which Flash is used are totally
pointless. Playing video online is an arguable exception, although it
should be noted that most videos published online are pointless.
I came across this abominable piece of web design yesterday. A truly
gratuitous use for Flash:

They appear to be forgetting that people go to eBay to buy stuff, not to
admire the latest trends in web design.
Best wishes,

I get REALLY pissed off when someone takes my spacebar 'page down'
away from me. Grrrrrrr!

Hmm ... what browser are you using? I'm using Opera, which
allows you to set preferences on a site-by-site basis (after turning off
a lot of things as the default). Among other things, the sub-menu for
controlling scripting (aside from just turning on and off JavaScript
itself) includes:
======================================================================
[] Enable JavaScript
[] Allow moving and resizing of windows
[] Allow changing of status field
[] Allow script to receive right clicks
[] Allow script to hide address bar
[] Open Console on error
User JavaScript files
[________________________________________] [Choose]
======================================================================
Aside from a separate menu which allow turning on or off Flash (plugins),
Java, Content Blocking, and Animated Images
And one which allows selecting which brower your brower tells sites that
it is. :-)
It is free -- and it is a fast browser.
Enjoy,
DoN.

I have Javascript and Java turned on. The above link kills HTML
keyboard characteristics in both Firefox 2 (my main browser) and MS
Internet Exploder 7 (which I only use for Netflix because Netflix
isn't sophisticated enough to work with the better browser.) Feh!

I thought the free version of Opera had beaucoup integrated
advertisements. The earlier versions did, and I nuked it because of
that.

Have you been in a cave for the past 3-4 years maybe? Opera
lost the advertisements around that long ago ;-)
You really should get out more Larry. Maybe you have been
spending too much time perusing Usenet groups...
