My "ancient windows software" copes fine with videos thank you. Sadly I cannot say the same for my "modern Apple software". I tried to watch a video on my 'phone the other day and got a message saying "Iphone and Ipad are unable to play this movie, please try watching it on your PC or laptop" (Flash has only been around since 1996 and Apple equipment still cannot cope with it!)

Isn't it that Apple won't accept Flash? Jobs said years ago that they wouldn't support it. Now this is a long time ago and they might have changed policy after I read that, but I believed it was so.

I can't play Flash on my Android laptop. It refuses to install the player because they do not support it.
I think Flash has lost

Yes, you are correct, Apple don't support Flash, but you are wrong when you say "Flash has lost", it is Apple who lost. I have heard from plenty of people who have avoided Apple products because they use Flash, Jobs has cost Apple shareholders millions, possibly billions because of his petty squabble with Adobe.

I totally agree and Apple only can't take down Flash.
It's still widely used and I've been into Flash for almost twenty years now.
I just can't help noticing that Browsers and Smart-stuff seems to hate Flash. The downside of Flash is the constant updating. Almost as annoying as Java now and then.
I think Flash Developer took the wrong turn way back when they decided Flash was supposed to handle everything, not just be a great game/web/multimedia program as it was.

Or the video isn't cleared for viewing in the UK. Jolly is in Norway, I am in Finland. We can both see it just fine. Of course the US can see it. I blame it on Brexit.
