   Hell, with OSX you don't even need Adobe Acrobat or Adobe reader to make   
   or display PDF files. The system makes 'em  as a print option, and   
   Preview displays them.   
      
   Have you ever taken a screen-shot picture with OSX (Command-shift-3)? It   
   makes a PDF on the desktop, not some low-res bit-map like you get when   
   you take a screen shot of a PC screen!

   It does when you are as insecure as Whineman.
