![]() I tossed out most of our HP printers but I keep a PSC2500 all-in-one around. This is especially true for Print drivers. I may not like a certain piece of software on Windows but it works better or faster on OSX. On windows, when I open those huge pdf files, Acrobat bogs down so I use the freeware SumatraPDF and it opens them quickly. ![]() I should mention that Acrobat on OSX is better than Acrobat on Windows. If you're working on files on both platforms, rtf is a better file format to use than doc or docx which require bloatware to edit. BTW, for editing rtf documents, Textedit does a great job and is fast to load. Somebody really needs to take a look at office suite bloat and offer us something that loads as quickly as textedit that does 75% of what Pages does. BTW, iWork 09 and take just about as long to load on OSX as M$ office takes on Windows. quicklook knows how to open 90% of the files I use and there is no long wait for a full app to load. ![]() At home I hit the eyeball in finder (add quicklook to finder toolbar and it shows as an eyeball icon). When I'm at work and want to open a document, I must sit through a 45-180 second launch agony to get Word 2007 or some other bloated pig of an application loaded simply to view a document. I use QuickLook as my default, Preview as my secondary reader and Acrobat only when formatting is messed up in the first two. I downloaded acrobat reader and I'm happy with it. I used Preview for viewing pdf's until I ran across files that contained math equations and symbols were missing in preview.
