I wouldn't have downloaded the viewer anyway because I just don't like
downloading things. I'm especially a big antifan of products that clutter
space and do things that could normally be done with a rightclick or some
other configuration manipulation, but I certainly appreciated the
information.
I haven't downloaded Acrobat Reader yet and I really need to do it, but I'm
just a procrastinator.
