Acrobat Reader
Sorry, nothing about England today.When working on my dissertation, I have to read a lot of journal articles. These are almost always in PDF format. The worst part about it is that I've had to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to read them. I always get frustrated at how it always takes so long to open, crashes my computers, and bugs me about updates every day.
I'm a big fan of Adobe. I couldn't live without Photoshop and Illustrator. Adobe is based in my home town. I have friends and relatives who have worked for them. I have nothing against them. But I think Acrobat Reader is a terrible piece of software.
So I did a Google search for "Adobe Acrobat sucks" and through that was able to find a MUCH better and leaner free PDF reader. I still had the original search window open when I tried to uninstall Acrobat.
The uninstall program gave me an error message saying "You must close the window: "Adobe Acrobat sucks" before you can uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0." That was a little sad. I felt like I hurt its feelings.

Haha You probably did hurt its feelers.
I might look into that thing. I too get tired of waiting to pull up a file whether it be a journal article or my homework for synoptic.
That is hilarious.
you know how people write 'lol' when instant messaging, but they really aren't lol? I actually did when I read that.
lol, uncle dodo
Hello...must I say it again Matt. Just get a freakin' MAC (free pdf reader that is NOT Adobe on it...and you can still use the adobe Illustrator/Photoshop). I will say no more.
Matt, I'm cutting you off from discount Adobe products until you get Acrobat re-installed! :-)
