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.
