Update on Shockwave for Intel-based Macs

Several of the developers here at ExploreLearning attended the recent Adobe Max conference in October. One of the reasons we went was to learn more about the status of the Shockwave plug-in on Vista and Intel-based Macs (or MacIntels).

Currently MacIntel users have to run their browser in Rosetta-mode (as I do at home). Our site will automatically let you know how to do that if you try to use a Gizmo on a MacIntel. This is not a long-term solution for viewing the Gizmos, and Adobe is working feverishly on getting a new version of the plug-in released.

At the conference we (the EL developers) met with several of the developers from Adobe that are working on the new version of the plug-in, and we got to see an early version of the new plug-in being used. Development continues and they let us know that they are trying to get the new plug-in released by the end of this year.

We know Adobe is hard at work on getting the plug-in updated, and we certainly hope it arrives in the very near. Thanks for your patience.

Go Gizmos!
