Not long ago I hated pdf files. In version 5 they fixed the scroll bars, and version 6 seems to have improved fonts. Now the problems are: I can't fit a whole page on the screen and still be able to read it. I can't easily flip back and forth. How do I stick fingers and pens into sections that I want to jump to easily.


This article reminded me that I am paying for Safari and I haven’t used it for a few weeks.


I was using my coffee breaks to get up to speed on agile programming techniques, but lugging big books around to spend 10 minutes reading wasn’t very convenient. I give up on that and now carry a Si-Fi novel in my jacket pocket.


If I could fit Safari, Longhorn, Visual Studio and Office into a notebook computer, I might just buy one. The problem would be folding the keyboard and screen up into the size of a novel.
