Not arguing, just asking when Dell stopped doing that?
I deal with novices - serious computer novices. If I ask them if they can
read a .pdf file they know what I mean. If I ask them about HTML emails, I'd
get that deer-caught-in-the-headlamps look.
And yes, the Reader file is big. I have the downloaded file for v7 on my
desktop so that I can put it on a disc and install it where needed. It's a
tad bit over 19MB. I've only had broadband for about a year and half. I
remember 20 minute download times for a Norton update of ~3MB. (Makes me
laugh sometimes how much my computer has changed in that time. No dial-up,
no AOL, no Norton - 19MB downloads are not an issue for me.)
Isn't it cool tho that we aren't locked into just one way to do things? That
is the one lesson about computers that doesn't seem to have changed over the
years. That, and to respect everyone's 2¢ worth. :-)
