Interesting. I didn't know that.

Just for Voyager to do everything IE does. ;-)
Don't you?

It says on the web site "Send us an email if you want the info for Flash
5 support", and I think David already did that. My recollection is that
there was a long wait before MacroMedia published the Flash 4
information, and the Voyager version then appeared quickly.

Go here and then to the FAQ

Actually, I can't imagine Flash ever being fast enough on 68k, so
there's no rush until we have G3 processors.
