Have a look at some OCR (optical character recognition) software. They
can make pdf files searchable. ;-)

I use the pdf search function all the time.
Adobe Reader 7.0. It's free.
What am I missing?

Nothing. SW Tom ain't up to speed on software. Hell, he's still running
two cycle outboards.

You might want to try Foxit. Not near the resource hog that the Adobe pig
is.

Thanks. I looked and Adobe does use @23mb when it's resident.
But with 2gb memory in the box it's never slowed me down.
You like to play with software, Duck?
Ever check out that C-Organizer Pro I mentioned some time back?

Yeah I like to check out software apps. I just looked at the Organizer you
referenced. I think that Outlook pretty much handles the stuff they have to
offer, at least for my needs.

I take the view that what software I like on my PC is similar to my
view about pizza joints. If you like it, stay with it.
Even more so with gyros. (-:

Great analogy. The gyros here in Florida, especially Tarpon Springs, are the
OK. The pizza, it sucks, big time. About the only thing I miss from
Chicago is the pizza from a mom and pop restaurant.

Bummer. I only had a couple pizzas in Florida. One totally sucked,
and the other was at a Pizza Hut. Much better, yet it totally sucked.
Seems funny they don't get any Chicago/NY pizza-making migrants down
there. Maybe there's a joint you haven't found yet?
I got forever spoiled at a gyros place called Three Sons, on Milwaukee
just off Central Park. Forgot their names now, but the old man, his
wife and one son ran it. The old man was best at slicing, but his son
was close. Sharpened the knife at least twice to cut a single plate.
They cut so thin you could see light through the slices.
Makes a big difference in taste. Good home made yogurt sauce too.
Oddly enough, my wife bought a gyros "kit" at the grocery last week.
Came with the pita, sauce, which was decent, and gyros sliced thinner
than most shops I've tried. She added onion and tomato.
Told her to fry it up good.
Wasn't too bad, but I told her to never buy it again.
Like I said, I'm spoiled. Think I'll drive into the city and see if
Three Sons is still there.

I don't like Chicago deep dish pizza, it ain't pizza, it's a
cassarole! Thin crust, brick oven, NY style!
