Yes. The sad truth is for the lower grades (at this elementary school
anyway) the computer is mainly a platform for Flash, so....not much of
an option there.

That's horrible. But the upside is maybe if they ruin it, it will
motivate people to develop a free alternative, not something that will
always strive to, but never attain compatibility due to the nature of
closed source. Won't the Gnash people just always be in a state of
catch up, trying to accommodate the new features that Adobe
implements?
