How many websites do we have to nag? :)
I don't really think this is a good idea.

Never had apple and never used it. But that is good information :)

Hmm, how many years Linux had a problem when it comes to Flash?

Then why all those Linux Users failed to convince Adobe to have a Linux
Version for Photoshop, for example?!

You know as I know when a new user to Linux will come across this issue,
he/she will simply switch back to Windows and/or reboot and login to
Windows (in case of Dual/Multi-Booting).

If we want to spread Linux, we should be ready for everything :D
IMHO, of course!

I'm unsure whether the issue I am having is because a driver? CPU is too
old and can not handle these kind of videos? the system on such machine?
etc? no idea :/


Note:
As I mentioned earlier, I have not yet tried to watch a Local Video as in
Local File on that machine (http://phillw.net/hardware/BnA9pw11).
