I have a Mac and watched it with no problems
I run Windows 7 but with a triple boot Lion Mac iOSX and Linux ubunto I pick and choose what. Even using Windows 7 my PC is setup to run as a high end iMac OS. I want Flash well yes is integral really for any OS if you know what you are doing regardless, my rubbish mobile runs flash and jave apps no problem just no how to tweak it (also have mac snow leopard on a separate 500GB external hard drive but haven’t got round to playing with it yet) I’m not advertising (admin) but I am a highly skilled techie if you need help ask no charge I love what I do ! I have a computer, that when I switch it on, It does what I ask it to do and then I go and have a coffee ::)

Sorry, but this is just pathetic. Tourists will want to eat fresh garden veg so that’s what’s needed to revive the economy? The family appear to be involved in business processing high-quality olivie oil (great, let’s hope it works) and the BBC burbles on about garden produce and what appears to be the daughter’s taverna side-line offering the same as everyone else.
Biolea’s website doesn’t push culinary tourism at all. It’s about oil and doesn’t seem to mention culinary tourism.
If Crete is going to pull in "culinary tourism" it needs to set up "Jamie Oliver’s Cretan Adventure" 13 part TV serial and book. That shouldn’t be impossible with a bit of effort.
And am I missing something? Are "Meditation retreats" a staple of Cretan tourism? I don’t seem to have heard about that.
Cannot play media. You do not have the correct version of the flash player. Download the correct version
That’s not very friendly. It’s about time the BBC dropped their dependence on Flash.

Why not just download it ?
Only takes a few minutes at the most, most websites use either flash or java, and much as I dislike the BBC I would hardly say it is unfriendly !
Just a thought

The BBC don’t like Macs Martin, and certainly don’t cater for iPads. On the other hand, Apple didn’t do themselves any favours in their arguments over Flash. I am very fond of my iPad, but even I am irritated by that message. Time will cure it, we hope.

Have just visited Biolea as a result of seeing this post and was very impressed with the quality of their olive oil, the method of production and the explanation of how it is done. Can recommend Biolea unreservedly.
