  I was reading that flash will be totally gone in 2 years. Do you think WGT will adapt or let the PC version die? 

  I know I stated I think they will let it go ,but wanting others thoughts.

  If WGT would like to chime in with what the company has talked about that would be great.

   

  Does anyone know if the mobile version is flash?

  Mobile is definitely not flash.

  There have been many threads on this subject, WGT say they expect flash to be around for at least another 10 years and have no present plans regarding changing platforms for pc players.

  There are also a lot of articles written about this and from what I have read 2 years is way too quick for that to happen. Maybe a scare story?

  Thats really about new development. Flash will still be played for years. The flash plug-in itself will probably not keep up with security fixes, so most likely you will turn on for specific websites only.

  10 years sounds about right, unless they choose to re-write wgt.

  I'd invest in a good plastic shovel. Especially if you're loaded.

  I cam to a forum to find out how important the golf ball are. ..... Is there a forum that answers that riddle?

  I wish AndySon was still around, he'd pull up the same quotes from 2010;)

   

  So then (if it happens) WGT will either move to HTML, or we'll all have to play off mobile devices.....pretty sure that's what the man said many times?

   

    Don't ask me, I don't know, don't have a solution, don't even know what HTML is, and don't have a mobile device.

   

  Hey, anyone know if Perfect Parallel is up and running?

   

  I'm too effing lazy to look for it.

   

  Have fun, use German engineering, and....never mind....

   

  To be real, the game isn't a joke, it's the players taking advantage of some loophole that are a joke.

   

  One must remember back when Boris Becker became one of, if not the best, male tennis player in the world.

   

  But I think it doesn't matter where you are from, now everyone can be a Wunderkind!!!

   

  Excuse me while I leave the forums for another 6 months.
