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?

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've tried several non-franchised pizza place here and they all suck. I had
a good friend that owned a pizza restaurant on the NW side (still there
after 30 some years, now run by his kids) and had a winter home some where
in the Florida pan handle. I asked him about the pizza in Florida. His
opinion was they cannot get the right cheese or sausage down there. Too
expensive to have it flown in from up there where it's readily available.

I haven't been in Chicago in 3 years when my aunt was ill and dying. My
brother (lives in Michigan) lived on pizza and Italian beef sandwiches for
about a month. I gained 13 pounds.

I sure do miss that part of the city. A beef joint opened down here with a
Chicago theme and their beef is not bad. They don't have the good Italian
bread to put on so they only get an acceptable rating from me.

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

Thin, crisp crust is my pizza of choice.

Chicago style deep dish and stuffed is "relatively" new.
I eat it more often now that I'm in the burbs only because it's hard
to find a decent thin crust out here.
If I still lived near my favorite joint La Villa, I'd never touch a
fat pizza.
I grew up on thin crust, brick oven. In Chicago.
I've had pizza in NY. Main difference is probably the sausage.
Even how it's pieced/ground is a personal taste.
In NY pepperoni is preferred. At least when I lived there for a
while. I liked it. Except for the pepperoni.
