How to Check Version of Flash

Sometimes our users want to view animations or videos on web sites which require the latest version of Flash (currently version 9). You can find out which version is installed on a machine by going to http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ This page tells me, for example, that our public workstations have version 6.0.88. ITS plans to release the newest version to all the machines sometime this semester (in late February I was told "not for several weeks").
