After the most recent update, I am unable to play Serpentine

Here is what it says to me on the Adobe page about my Flash Player version:

So that is definitely up to date. Also, my husband has his own user name and we often play there together at the same time. Well we did until now!

Apparently Flash is working but Shockwave Player when tested, shows no animation on that test page.

Phew. Oh lordy. I will check that out tomorrow when I'm rested. I'm afraid I'd do something spectacularly stupid this late at night. I do have Time Capsule so I guess I could back everything up first.

Do you think that upgrading to Lion would do the same thing because I've been thinking about upgrading from Snow Leopard. it's only $29 or something like that.

I think I may just not play that game on my iMac and keep my macbook free from the update. At this point, it just doesn't seem worth fooling with. It's just a boggle game!

I understand your frustration. I have a certain nostalgia for those days when you could go to Radio Shack and spend a few dollars and build your own circuit board and even computers really. I have had in my past, Apple II, Apple IIc, Apple IIe, and even had in my possession at one time, two Apple IIIs which had terrible reputations but were exceedingly fun nonetheless.

But then again I'm also nostalgic for the days when I could open the hood of my giant American car and change the spark plugs without any tools in a matter of minutes...lol. I guess I'm showing my age.

But I confess that I love my iMac and can't imagine using a Windows machine and don't have the time I used to have to do something like tinker with Linux, etc. I have all these old BYTE magazines from the 80s and looking through them illustrates just how much choice we used to have in computers whereas now, we have just 2 and a half (in my admittedly flawed opinion).
