I remember configuring NSPluginWrapper in order to get the 32 bit Flash plugin to work on 64 bit Linux (and FreeBSD). God that was nasty, as soon as YouTube launched the html5 beta I erased Flash player from every device I owned.

NSPluginWrapper... Something has awoken inside me. Distant memories behind a fog. Something evil. This is not good, not good.

Heh, I've all but forgotten about that pervasive use of flash. We came out of the dark ages, that feels good.
