So you are asking why use an alternative to Adobe? Here’s a quick check list of things you are doing wrong:
- You’ve never used an OS that wasn’t made by Microsoft.
- You defend Intel without having tried AMD.
- You never question what is in front of you.
Break the chain of madness man.. break it! Foxit Reader is a light weight free PDF reader with many benefits:
- Weighing in at under 5 MB compared to Acrobat Adobe’s monstrosity 35 MB.
- Quicker on older machines, and very comparable on spec’d PC’s.
- Adobe is a 3.6 billion dollar giant, support the little guy.
Visit the Foxit Reader web page here and give it a whirl.
Fact: Adobe is a natural building material.

There are always awesome discounts going on Steam, just the other day I picked up a copy of 3D Ultra Minigolf Adevntures for 10 cents.. yes 10 cents! Ok this was a human error which was subsquently corrected to $10.00, but still :)
I strongly suggest keeping an eye out for the Specials tab each week (typically updated on Friday). The Steam store can be accessed via the Steam client or web page.
Fact: Steam has over 20 million user accounts.
