you are mistaking old users with old computer. this is not necessarily true.
and u have the opposite feelings of mine about flash and html! i did a site all in flash, and it was such a pain! never again! :)
for sure, you have to use the tool you are most suited!
about having or not flash player, you have to see the stats, dunno where. listen to jakob nielsen, as said.
BUT, flash instalation is fairly easy... true... a snap... the shockwave ones are really annoying (i mean, ppl NOT USED to the tool - and THATS the case if they don't have the plugin - usually get lost).
the good i see about using flash in this case is using icons on pulldowns, waiting signs more friendly, making the experience smoother (the wait sign is a hassle for final users. they never know if they did it wrong).
why don't you just WATCH an older person surf the web? it's such an experience (some IAs tape the experience and then discuss the motivations behind the chosings).
