Okay, man am I frustrated. Here is the story: About a week ago I started having slow download with google maps (which I use everyday). Then today I got a message that I could not use "street view" without the current Flash Player (did this just  happen?). So I went to the site and here's what I think is going on. First I am a MAC OS 10.4.11 32-bit Firefoc v 3.6. My MAC is PowerPC. Therefore, I cannot download and use the new version -10.2. I can download the and use 9 and possibly 10.1 developers (maybe-I read that OS 10.1-10.3 needed Flash 9 so I was hoping with 10.4.11...) so I held my breath-uninstalled old Flash(restart) and tried F9-but of course no Google street view. Then unistalled again(restart)  and tried Flash 10.1-no Google street view. In the analysis I think I'm out-I can't run Flash 10.2 and I can't see Google street views without it. Oh what a sad, sad thing. Can it be? Does anybody have a solution. Maybe another browwser? Another software?

Thanks!

    HI! Guess What?! 10.1 actually DOES work with MAC OS 10.4.11. I don't what happened but this morning I could not find the "F" icon (wierd) so re-installed and YAhooo! It works. I'm sooo glad. Yes, I had forgotten about the Apple forums-good call-helpful! CHEERS!

    Hi, I know, I've heard from other PPC users. The latest Flash Player would be version 10.1.102.64. So Google Maps won't support that version either? That version didn't come out until November 2010, less than 4 months ago!!

    So Google Maps won't support Flash Player version 10.1.102.64? a 4 mo old version? Wow, that's a short "shelf" life!!

    What about Safari? I don't use a Mac, so don't really know.
