Am I really so old that when someone says "Flash" my immediate response is... "consider HTML5 instead" ??

Very little of what made the Flash culture so fun made its way into HTML5.

The Flash designer was really nice. One thing the web kind of set back was all the RAD tools from the 90s and 2000s.

		And there were some amazing RAD and prototyping tools in the 90s (mostly for DOS, but also for Windoze desktop apps.) You're right, we sort of gave up on the idea when everyone wanted to be seen as a "real" software engineer who knew how to sling Java on the back end.

Lol. Young uns!

Flash, ah, ah, saviour of the universe. Flash, ah, ah, he'll save every one of us!

Every time I have heard the word flash for goodness knows how many years.

		If Google can reuse the "Flash" brand, I'm re-branding myself as "Meadhbh the Merciless."
