[LINK] Any one else suffering Adobephobia?

[Dr Bob Jansen (in Korea)]

Tom,

I am finding this verification code SMS to a mobile phone a real problem 
also now that I am living part of the year in South Korea. I now have 
two phone numbers, one for Australia and the other for South Korea. Most 
sites will only let you specify one phone for verification when you 
create an account and so this presents a problem. I know of no way to 
forward a SMS to another phone automatically (btw: I forward all my 
calls in either country to Skype when I am not in that country and then 
get Skype to call the other country's mobile number. That way I am 
always contactable and it works well).

As for Adobephobia, I have not installed Flash for several years now and 
basically find no reason to do so. For those sites that require flash, 
as you found with China Southern, like you, I use the Google Chrome 
browser that has an inbuilt Flash engine.

The only Adobe program I really miss is GoLive, it was a really great 
site editor and I have found no equivalent and so am stuck with BBEDIT 
and global edits (which always are a problem).
