They were CPU killers but man those Flash websites were gorgeous (talking mostly about MU Online "private" servers)

  It was probably the right call at the time with low bandwidth. Nowadays I bet flash would execute faster than most js heavy sites :D

    It was not the right call, Steve Jobs was just a monopolist killing a competing platform and we're all worse off for it.

      I meant that designing Flash to use more CPU to save bandwidth was the right call at the time, unless I misunderstand your reply.

      Flash was a security and battery disaster just like Java applets. Both are dead as browser plugins and good riddance.
