Bloody hell.

I remember using the Corel equivalent to save stuff for reading later, Chaos Manor I think it was, as I had a copy of Word Perfect Office.

Wasn't sure this Adobe thingy was going to last!

Chaos Manor? Byte Magazine Jerry Pournelle?

That was my favourite magazine of all time. Brilliant. I always used to flip back to his article first before making a start at the front again.

Did you read his Sci Fi books? Mote in Gods eye and Mote around Murcheson's eye are in my top 5 favourites of all times. Crazy Eddie

I used to be a Wordpefect user as well!

Get a bit cheesed off as Adobe regularly forces me to login before I can open a pdf. Didn't used to be like this!

There are alternative pdf readers. I stopped using anything Adobe back in 2001 or so.

When I was on windows I used to use either Foxit or Sumatra. I can't remember which was the last one I used as I left windows behind over a decade ago sorry.

PDF readers are built into Linux in a variety of ways. No need for Adobe thankfully. Terrible company to deal with.

The best thing either of them wrote, as far as I am concerned.

One of the few novels I've read where I genuinely felt the peril that the protagonists were going through, especially when those brownies were trying to escape in the spacesuit

Possibly something in settings.
I have no problem on Windows. On my phone it sometimes asks for a login but that is just for tasks other than reading and can be cancelled.

I always use Foxit PDF Reader on Windows. Just works, gets updated regularly.

And it isn't written by that purveyor of buggy, exploit ridden software known as Adobe.

Another Foxit user here. Works brilliantly.
