Re: Guesswork - Chris?

It's not that Acrobat has APPEAL, it's that you need it to open .pdf files.
It was my assumption that recently written .pdf files might require a newer
version, so maybe I should update it.  Haven't run into the problem yet, but
then I don't open all that many .pdfs.

Besides, this requirement of a pentium procesor has me boggled - it's the
second time I've run across it.  That's my real question.
