Thanks for your input Bruce and for addressing the specific/initial question.

Your specific question was answered, but I’d like to mention another alternative to Reader: PDF Xchange Viewer at http://www.tracker-software.com. A link to the viewer is on their home page. Their viewer is light on system resources and does a good job. Their reader previews functionality of their paid versions which leaves a watermark if you modify a PDF with it. But, if you’re only viewing/printing PDFs, I recommend giving it a shot!

If people are too dependent on technology, society as a whole will become irrelevant. People will bow to their technology masters, as their ability to critically think and reason gets tossed in the digital bit bucket. We seem more willing to be distracted by technology than dealing with ourselves and the human condition. There’s many coming out of colleges unable to read beyond 7th grade level. Writing in cursive, a former indication that you are progressing towards adulthood, is being dismissed as unnecessary (we have keyboards and fonts for that). The less we do the more is lost. So, I’d say the relevance of a tech company is far from what’s really at issue. We go where the money is and the next new thing, I’m no different, but wish we all had a better grip on ourselves and how technology affects us.
