    Default I don't know who okayed this

    But someone is getting an angry letter. For reasons that surpass my comprehension I cannot organize PDF files in Windows Explorer. Like I can put in file properties in Acrobat, but they do not translate to Windows, and I can't put in file properties in Windows at all. How do they expect people to manage their PDF files? I don't know if this is because of Vista, the new Acrobat or what - my roommate insists it must be Vista "We're going to come out with our own document reader, and it's going to be better... it will be out 3 years from now".

    Know how I'm arranging and managing my PDF files? Itunes. After googling this is the best solution I came up with. Itunes. Which of course means that I can't use Itunes while I'm doing it, which is always. The silence in my house is defeaning. All I can hear are my keystrokes. I'm hyper-aware of being a bad typer with uneven speed because the click-klack of the keys is the only sound filling my apartment.

    Vista is shit. I don't know who came up with this sort of crap program, but it has caused a lot of problems for a lot of people.

    I got fed up with Windows and all their shit and four years ago switched to a Mac. I don't see myself ever going back to Windows.

    I can't say I've ever had any problems using a Mac.

    hehe, only took 2 replies before this became a Mac worship thread.

    and I love that the solution to a Vista problem is an Apple program.

    Or people could just learn how to properly work a PC. Considering Vista does not act the same as XP, why try to use it the same?

    Popular Mechanics in May 2008 did benchmark tests on Mac and PC desktops and laptops.

    http://www.popularmechanics.com/tech...s/4258725.html

    The Mac was faster.

    When running Windows Vista, they concluded that the best PC for Windows is a Mac. After adding extra memory (Vista is a memory hog), the software to boot into Windows, and a copy of Windows Vista, the Mac still cost $100 less than the comparable PC and ran Windows faster.

    But since Jenny is unlikely to run out and buy a new computer just to organize her pdfs, I suggest this: Build yourself an hierarchical folder system in My Documents on your C drive. Save your pdfs there. If you are downloading something, save it to the desktop where it is easy to find, then move it to your file system after download.

    Well, I'm not the only person who thinks that way. I know tons of other people who used Windows for the longest time, then got converted.

    I'm not saying Mac's are perfect by any means, but four years free of problems vs. tons of issues when I had Windows...no contest.
