Here's (www.rethinkingschools.org) a cool 5 minute exercise. I got 6 wrong (1 because of a mis-click).

490143 2006-10-09 05:00:00 What's flash Greg?

Don't tell me it's something like FTP :D

I guess I'll have to dig out IE and see if I know my way around the world as well as a computer :D

But to be serious, installing Flash plugin is a mixed blessing. It allows you to access a lot of content such as mindless games, puzzles etc, but I've yet to figure out how to block Flash adverts with it installed.

If you use Firefox there is an extension that can block flash ads.

490146 2006-10-09 06:11:00 Thx for that. But A) I don't use Firefox. And B) I could just uninstall Flash if I couldn't bear the ads, and I assume then I couldn't get some of the Flash content I did want to see. Greg (193)

Yeah, but it also blocks Flash when you want to play it.

BTW, tried the 'find the Middle East' game... got Lebanon in the right place, but Israel and the rest just wouldn't budge. Is this what it's like being a diplomat? :confused:

I didn't find a space for Bahrein, even after putting on my glasses.
Result - one country left over.
That showed me how bad my geography is. I floundered frequently.

And as for your 5 minute exercise, Greg... that was my longest 5 minutes for quite some time.

Good fun, though.
