When did he install what version of the Flash player?

I find it hard to believe that a recent version would crash a
wide-spread OS.

(recent>=6.0.47.0 && wide-spread==[Linux-clone, (Windows98 | >), Mac
(OSX | OS 9)])

Hiya Phil,

AFAIK, for an SVG gui to be useful it would need to handle events.

Phil et al,

I agree with your assessment that it would be a killer Ruby application
to be able to create browser delivered interfaces using a vector based
renderer (rather than HTML). For the reasons outlined above I don’t
think that SVG is up to it…but Macromedia Flash IS up to it. So,

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Full 1.2 Specification
suggests that forms and widgets are on the agenda for SVG, as are
events. Is Flash an open standard?

A friend of mine crashed his PC trying to install the Flash plugin,
so I’ve not been in a rush to explore this!

A while back, I’ve just asked him. Will let you know iff I hear.

Thanks for putting numbers to that, he might retry it.

He wasn’t able to remember, maybe it was his old PC he said, so that
would be over a year I think.
