I wonder if we should organize some letter campaign or website to request
certain websites to use open standards.
Maybe DHTML and Javascript or SVG could be used instead.
Some interesting links:
http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/comparison_flash_svg/
http://digitalcraft.com.au/svg/blurbs/01/blurb001.aspx
http://digital-web.com/articles/svg_the_new_flash/
(There are probably some up-to-date documents too.)
This reminded me that my oldest son used to use pbskids.orgs that had
Flash, then later it switched to shockwave and then switched back to
regular flash again (if I recall correctly).
