What are the alternatives.  I hate flash; I use dialup internet over a
noisy rural phone line.  On a 486.  I'm upgrading to an RS/6000 H50
because I want the reliability in an inexpensive (huge) package.
However, the driving factor in the upgrade is the dismal performance of
firefox and web access in general.  On many websites I access (generally
sites with a product catalog), flash is __required__ to access anything
other than the 'what the heck is this' icon.

So on the PPC, when you need to read a flash page, what are the
alternatives?

Thanks,
