After all, you can always just choose not to use [checked exceptions] - just convert everything to runtime exceptions and your own code will be only impacted at the edges. Forgive me if I'm being dense -- I haven't done much Java programm

I'm surprised to hear such bitching about Flash. Actually, this is one of the few Flash-heavy sites I've seen in recent memory that didn't (a) crash my vintage 2.0.0.20 Firefox running on Fedora Core 4, or (b) warn me that I needed to downl
