Hi! Ed,

I'm writing to lend moral support, Ed.  I no longer use PDF-XChange since I
dumped Win8.1, back on 12 September last year, after a love/hate relationship
for just on the one year mark.

I might have dumped DoPDF, etc earlier than then but I can't remember what I
ended up using to read PDFs with or when; I just remember uninstalling whatever
 it was that HP plonked on the PC.  I do remember that I saved roughly 200Mb of
 HDD real estate.  I already had a 'network printer' PDF creation solution
going for nearly a decade.

Yep.  Don't feel out of step with that.  I do it all the time, though I was
lucky with a couple of Wikipedia-originated docs today.  They came named as I
needed.

OTOH, I am suffering a Linux error of some sort where the date of creation on
every page footer is reporting 1/1/1970; the time is correct.  Weird.[shrug]  I
 think it may be the Xubuntu version I'm running causing that; it needs
replacing but I can't for quite a while.

I used to think I was the only one afflicted with such problems.  I am glad to
hear of your battles with these ornery machines.  Don't stop writing.  ;-)

Cheers,
Paul.
