I like neither of them. Java is waaaaaaay to big and has always slowed
down the systems I used it on. It also ads one of those nasty taskbar
icons I don't want.

Flash is too often used for stuff I don't want anyway. Like ads and
websites that are flashy but slow and don't offer real content.

The Microsoft dot net (or something like that) is another "why bother
downloading". As soon as some application says you need it, I skip past it.

On the upside: I'm virus free and my paranoia is going strong.

Aren't you posting Youtube links in another thread? How are you viewing
those without Flash?

Now it's your turn.

Everyone has its price. Sadly George Lucas' price doesn't end on 99ct.

Does that stuff have anything to do with Gargammel from the Smurfs?
