You're going to exclude alternative OSes even more than you already

At least with Java, when done right, can be multi-OS and multi-browser
compatible.  Shockwave is the worst "standard" we have.

Correction - it _should_ be. It never is in practice. Java, in my
experience, sucks solar masses through bucky tubes.

Not to mention it's habit of blue-screening Win9x, and crashing
Navigator under linux. And lynx doesn't exactly play well with Java
either.

I keep Java, javascript, and cookies turned off in Navigator - now I
get weeks uptime under Win98 instead of mere days.

And the crashes then are half the time the result of me turning them
back on again for some braindead site I really have to see.
