[olug] Need older version of 64bit Adobe flash-plugin preferably from CentOS RPM

[Rob Townley]

Shannon,  i reread my post and not sure if my appreciation came through.
Thank you for posting the link to archived official Adobe flash-plugin
downloads.  In fact, just used it to post to Amazon Ubuntu forums.

Interesting that Amazon Video player worked again automatically on April
17th on CentOS 6 but not on Ubuntu.  Sounds like it still is not working on
Ubuntu without downgrading:
