since 2002 or 2003, I'd sayThe oldest b3ta email I still have is [b3ta] Issue 75: 'All toad. No hole.' from 7th Feb 2003.
The first entry in that mail was:
I just clicked the link to play the game and got forwarded through a bunch of highly reputable looking URLs, and finally ended up with a Flash Upgrade for my system! Handy!

:) I stopped updating Flash last year, I think I've only seen the placeholder appear twice since that time. Firefox got a bit heavy-handed with it too, forcing updates in order to view content. At a certain point I just decided it wasn't worth bothering with any more. I believe it was installed on something like 95% of systems at one point. I wonder what the numbers are now.
