Acrobat

I would never use a system that crashed three times in a day (or week for that matter). A good example would be the system I am writing this on. The last time I started it up was Oct 3rd. On average it would see about three hours of use a day. Since the last time I started it it has run the following apps: Acrobat Reader, Acrobat, Acrobat Distiller, Adobe Image Ready, Adobe...

Here's mine... My computer, Pip! I'm running build 5G64, does anyone have 5G68 (or whatever the heck it is?) Icons in Dock: -Finder -Fire

friendly and productive than 3.3. I also recommend getting AI 9, PS 6 and Acrobat 5. If you're comfortable with the versions you're using, I don't think you'll find much difficulty at all using the new versions. ...

I will be using this machine for heavy use of QX v3.3, AI 8.0 and PS 5.0 as well as Acrobat 4.0, MS Office. ...

This is on a 400mghz Ti Powerbook with 384 megs of ram, and surprisingly enough, ran pretty decently: Netscape 6.1 Preview Release Entourage (classic) Terminal UltraDev (classic) BBedit 6.12 Fireworks (classic) Calculator Stuffit Expander 6.5

Hold on one moment please. I do believe we are on a Mac forum, and the only time a "Problem" is "solved" is when there is a Mac solution. I don't want to use Office, so I can have free viewers if I move to Windows? Where is the solution in that? I work with publications firms that live buy QuarkXPress (which is too expensive to begin with), and need to (from time to time) open...

This one is easy:use Office. Like it or not, it's more or less standard now. Unless you simply do not communicate with any other computer users, it is the most pragmatic option. The next issue is whether to upgrade or not. Most people will not NEED the new X features (me included), but may want it just for the new look and to avoid Classic altogether (again, me included)....

Noticed that most of your apps are very common on Carracho, and Carracho is on your list. Carracho is not exactly the most reliable source for clean apps or OS's. I'm not saying your pirating software, but I would wager on the side that you probably are like everyone else here. You might want to consider your methods before you start pointing fingers at Apple. For all we know...

Actually AppleWorks should be able to read and write most Office docs (specially Office 97 format if it is coming from a Windows system). I do have a copy of Office 98, but only use it on a few occations. But this brings up an important point though. Why do we have to pay so much money for apps just to read docs from them? Why pay $900 for QuarkXPress if you don't actually...

I tried to start up 13 very light apps like preview, processor view , Acrobat....etc no problem. ....but half of the apps that I mentioned before are heavy apps and are sitting on different partitions.....
