I've pretty much decided the iPad is the way to go for couch surfing (thanks for all who chimed in on my recent post about the subject) but there's the nagging issue of browser flash support being non-existant. So, when I go to order a pizza from, say Papa Johns, will I be able to do it? I have Click to Flash on my laptops and always enable it to see the specials, etc. My concern is how many web sites will be compromised by the lack of flash support, since web browsing will be the thing I do most on the iPad.

I almost never have to go to the MacBook because of no flash on the iPad. I have been surprised how much of a non-issue it seems to be.

No "app for that" yet but try their mobile site: [mobile.papajohns.com] (takes you to the regular site if using a regular computer).

I realize not everything is doable if you lack Flash, but more and more stuff doesn't need it. Sites optimized for mobile devices are a thing we never see or really find out about when using a normal computer.

1) Tally up the sorts of sites you frequent that rely on Flash, THEN Google that company (like I just did for Papa Johns) to see if there's either an app or a mobile site and so on.

2) Know that an iPad isn't a replacement for a fully functioning computer. You may have to order pizza another way. Like with a telephone (ha!)

3) Get the iPad already! (but re-read #2) Know that your purchase helps fuel the drive for alternative sites and apps.

4) I'll take mine any way you wanna order it, but save the mushrooms and black olives. That crap stinks.

Adobe can suck it. I'll refuse to make use of a site requiring Flash on my iPad. I may miss out on a thing or two but I can assure you it's not a great loss for me.

Adobe would love for you to enjoy their Flash on your iPad.

I have FlashBlocker on my computers & when I StumbleUpon a site with an un-viewable Flash page, I move on to the next one & have never felt that I've missed anything important.

If you're ordering pizza from Papa John's you have no taste, you ought to be on a Dell.

Owww! That was just an example! (But I actually do still have a Dull laying around - bought it so I could upgrade the HDD on my TiVo)

Never

Never, here too.

I may remember the site the next time I'm at a Mac. I may not.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

very VERY rarely.

I haven't come across anything that can't wait until later when/if I feel like getting up

Never. But then, I don't have an iPad, either.

I use only real computers.
