Hi Harry, I don't think you quite understand what Freedom Box is. It is essentially an internet content provider, which is extremely accessible. You can't use the Internet on a flash player. Go see http://www.freedombox.info for more information. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.
