Even bank sites use flash for forms and data!
If my bank required Flash, it wouldn't be my bank any more, and I'd let it know why in no uncertain terms, without using the word "Linux".
What if it was the only local credit union you qualified to access? What if you hate Bank of America and Chase etc more than you hate Flash?
The choice to use a credit union vs any bank, even a small local one (which just ends up getting bought by a bigger nastier one some day) is vastly more important to your life than whether that small credit union's small IT staff inconveniently used flash on it's web site, even if they used it in some way that you have to care about instead of just a banner.
Silly discussion. Practically every restaurant web site not only uses flash but is almost 100% flash. They are restaurant. Not IT companies. They don't even know they have a problem, they are busy being good at pasta not good at web sites, and that's _entirely_ the way I'd like it, much as a better web site would be nice for me, I care more that they are good chefs.
So, when I hit google to find some place to go tonight, I want their site to work so I can at least see their address and hours and phone number. If I had the attitude that the use of flash on their web site mattered _at all_ then I'd miss out on their excellent food and atmosphere and lake side view and other patrons etc etc etc...
There are other restaurants, but choosing a restaurant by the quality of their web site is stupid.
Same for the auto mechanic. Same for the picture framer. Same for everything.
It's really quite stupid to let a thing like that get in the way of your real life.
