Too many apps like to make themselves at home in our so-called 'personal' computers without our consent. Even if consent is giiven it's often done as a trust thing with a question mark, not with a full understanding of why they really are there, what they really do and what's really going on! Often try to baffled by science I think. Personally, I'm planning on 'downscaling' (downgrading some would call it) some of the bigger names/software like Adobe, Nero and Microsoft Office to name a few. Getting a bit tired of being used by them, They've scattered and spread their family and offspring throughout MY precious pc - to the point of confusion actually! I know they are good apps, but in my opinion they are also too big and widespread. I am looking into other options as we speak, thats why I am here. And there are quite a few alternatives I'm happy to say! Will do much much much more research before I go for the big break (ooh, it's quite exciting actually!) Would be good to know that I don't actually need them as much as they make me believe I do!! Anyway.. Adobe Air... hmmm? I agree with the 3 of you 100%! ..

Got me wondering too on the Ubuntu Air install trying to install using Air for Twhirl. Everything unknown and unrestricted.

I wrote Twirl and asked, sent me back the same link to install it, I have yet to do it.

I am sure this developer doesn’t intend to do anything with that, but am concerned why he’d need it.

Just wondering what your thoughts on this were.

Thanks,
