Re: Guesswork - Chris?

What I meant [now it's my turn :)] is why does anyone, such as government agencies, use it to begin with?

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.

Doesn't answer your question, but what's the appeal of Acobat? I find
it to be a royal pain--and yet another barrier to downloading
information.

I use my dad's computer at work (he died last year) It has Acrobat
Reader
3.0 on it. I've got 5 or 6 on mine at home. I thought I might go
ahead and
upgrade it, so I went to Adobe's free downloads and found system
requirements for Acrobat 4.0.5, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0.1, 6.0.2 all require
Pentium
processors. The most recent version that does not require a Pentium
is the
one that's already on his computer, 3.0

I posed this question once b4 for something else (though I don't
recall what
it was) and Donna said she didn't think it mattered that my dad's
computer
is not a Pentium (it's a Celeron). One might say, oh go ahead and
try it,
waht could it hurt? But I think it can pose problems.

A year ago I had to renew my Norton AV. It asked if I wanted to
upgrade to
the one that included anti-spyware, so I did. Well, now, every time I
turn
on my computer I get weird messages alluding to the possibility that
my AV
can't work, or something about Fat 32s , or some other nonsense. It
still
updates my virus protection ( a lot more often than I ask it to), but
it's
just another screwup I'm not happy about. They didn't show any
requirements
or indicate my computer might not meet them.

so. Do I download Acrobat Reader 6.0.1 w/out a Pentium? I do meet the
other reqs.
