Adobe Flash Player is finally laid to rest - BBC News

I used to make little animated flash adverts which ran in the right hand column on my website, IIRC I used a program called swift to make them.

I never liked all flash websites, and it looks like there will be no more of them.. Yay ..

Adobe Flash Player, the browser plug-in that brought rich animations and interactivity to the early web, has officially reached the end of its life.
Released in 1996, Flash was once one of the most popular ways for people to stream videos and play games online.
But it was plagued with security problems and failed to transition to the smartphone era.
Adobe will no longer offer security updates for Flash and has urged people to uninstall it.

It was an intresting platform and it gave rise to some cool online content.

Especially browser based games.

I felt like a teenage hacker whenever I solved a Flash Player issue.
