If a user cant afford to buy a computer and a broadband connection what really is the odds they will spend 24.95 to 34.99 for a membership to look at porn?
In the PC gaming industry the games always push ahead of the hardware that will allow the game to play at its full capacity. Guess what the computer makers play catchup cause they know people will want theirs faster. Innovate!

Well, the computer game industry also makes low tech games for cell phones and other mediums. They also produce pretty shitty video games as well for those that don't have gaming computers.
Why?
Because there's a market for it.
You may think that the guy that doesn't have broadband can't affoard 29.95$ to gain access to a site, but maybe you've forgotten that not in every country in the world has broadband. Hell, some parts of the USA still doesn't have broadband.
It doesn't mean they won't buy. Just means they might join the site to look at pics or they just might order DVDs online.
So once again I come back to saying : Flash is not yet ready for gallery use because you'd be cutting off a demographic for nothing. Once it has become truly universal like mpeg, then why the hell not?
