Re: AGM awards

It would seem so.
When I google something, I hesitate to open a .pdf file.  It takes so long
to open compared to regular sites.  And the "Open as html" option is often
difficult to read.  I am more likely to open regular sites.

And the companies that put their catalogs online in .pdf!  I find those
difficult to use.
