| | Get bored about time to wait while loading Acrobat Reader 6 ?
There is an efficient tool, and this is a freeware.
As we know, Acrobat Reader takes 16 Mo on a hard drive, and take a "certain time" to be ready (ie we wait a lot when it starts ! That's because this software loads, while starting, a great sum of modules -wich are not really usefull usually !-).
Then,while surfing on the net, i found this site, http://www.foxitsoftware.com and Foxit PDF Reader (freeware).
And what a surprise : this one do the same as Acrobat Reader 6, go really faster, and take only 2 mo on your harddisk !!!
Then, here you are, here is the link to download it ;-) go to the end of the page, and click "download"... |

I might check it out, the space it takes is irrelevant to me, as probably most people nowadays with the size of HDD's as high as they are now...but if it actually loads much faster and has nearly as many fatures it could be worth checking into

I've never had any problems with the Adobe version and it's out for all the platforms I use, so I think I'll keep using it.

Adobe is extremely reliable (except I did corrupt the entire program once and had to reinstall it...but that wasn't my or adobes fault haha) but I do agree that its startup time leaves something to be desired especially on lower end hardware. At home its fine since I have a fairly speedy rig but at work here the comp I'm on is kind of mid-low level so it could use a speedier pdf viewer since I have to use pdf files all the time lately.

After reading this post I have downloaded it , used it for 5 minutes and uninstalled it. Why???? Because I have compared the page quality of both Adobe and Foxit . The pdf page quality displayed by foxit was very bad. Sometimes it was unable to read the page. So I am stick with Adobe Reader.

Recommendations For Freeware Screen Capture Video Software?

of these videos. However with CamStudio I have a small problem with the spacebar. It is the default
command key to stop the screen recording, and I although I looked everywhere, I couldn't find
where I can change this. I sometimes need to write stuff in text fields and text boxes, and it is

The Joys Of Pidgin
Replacement for IMs such as MSN (14) Just when MSN started to get on my nerves for being obtrusive and inefficient lay-out someone told
me of the recently released Pidgin. While his primary choice was to have a messenger with low ram
usage, I preferred to compact look and unobtrusive handling of new messages. In case you use
multiple messengers you can combine them here into one window, and it seems you can even get on IRC
but I haven't tried that yet nor do I think I'll ever require it as I have XChat for that.
For those who were familiar with GAIM, same team - different name because of legal issu....

do their creators somehow make money. Also, out of curiosity, how does one edit open source
