Well, I Finally Did It

[George Costanza]

Well, I finally did it. I don't know what came into me - I have been resisting this for YEARS. Five minutes ago, I actually installed an Adobe Acrobat Reader update. I'm not kidding. I actually did.

Of course, I anticipate the next time I look at my desktop, there is going to be that same, annoying, always-present, red and white notification that yet another Adobe update is "ready to be installed."

But I don't care. I did it. I don't plan to do it again - ever. But, this one time, I did it.

Adobe is evil.
Ugh....anyone in the print/design industry has grown to hate Adobe as they have taken over graphic design software completely in the past 5 years with InDesign.
Just like Microsoft they release unneeded trumped up "updates" that cost $100's per copy.
And, like Microsoft, make sure you can't open a newer version.
I hate, hate, hate Adobe.

Am truly laughing out loud at that one - well played!

I'll have you know, sir, that I have a very fast, DSL connection to my home. So I don't have any trouble at all accessing my AOL email.

And you thought I was living in the Dark Ages. Hah!

OK - but what happens when the document they send you says it requires Adobe Reader to look at it?

If it's been more than 5 minutes, Acrobat needs to update.

If you ever get tired of it;
