: Hi Peter,
:
: You are not alone.  I don't think any software manufacturer (my octotools
: included) will give much priority to the speed of opening an app as 
opposed
: to operating speeds, functionality, flexibility and general performance
: charactersitics.  After all, those other criteria are what users care 
about
: most.  On the other hand,  opening (and closing) can get so extreme that
: some users will seek alternate solutions.  I have a 1Ghz Intel processor 
on
: my Winbook laptop, XP Pro, IE 6. Firefox, and with 386Mbyte of memory. 
When
: I need MSWord or Excel (which has a couple of add-ons for special
: character/font sets) I really dread opening it since it can take minutes 
to
: load.  Of course having my most often used apps open in the first place is
: fine, but still when booting up it takes a long, long time.  You may want 
to
: open your reader upon startup just to get it out of the way.  There are
: other readers, but I do like the features of the Adobe.  Good luck,
:
: Larry T.


I thought and hoped it might have been a setup-issue.
The reader is the only application that starts this remarkably slow; I could 
launch about 10 office programs in the time it takes to launch the reader.
I rarely use it to view documents larger than just a few pages, but it has 
become a rather common way of publishing documents on the internet. As a 
result I choose to ignore most of the 'nice to know' info. That is, when I 
spot them before I've clicked.
Is there perhaps a less timeconsuming reader, that I could use for default. 
Anything worth recommending?
