Today one of my major programs at work went belly up because Flash is dead.

They used Flash? Seriously?

I understand Adobe pulling support, I understand Adobe waving it's arms for *years* saying "Hey! End of support coming up!"

What I *don't* understand is them placing a logic bomb inside Flash so it shuts down my browser.

*gggrrrr*

And what I *don't* understand is why our suppliers didn't fix this problem BEFORE IT BECAME A PROBLEM.

I *do* understand my work place using older software and hardware. There are still places where Windows XP is still being used - offline of course. We're still using a *lot* of Windows 7 - again, I understand because Windows 10 SUCKS. And it would probably break mission critical software. We're a broadcasting station - why would we want Candy Crush loaded up into our mission critical systems?

Sheeesh.
