Why on earth does it take so long for the Adobe Acrobat Reader to load? I 
cringe when I see an Internet link that ends in .pdf. Is there a way to 
speed things up (without buying a program that says it will do that)?

Some versions of Adobe Reader load faster than others because they don't 
load all the DLLs (most of which are never used) at startup.  I think V6 
was the slowest. At one point, I had "hidden" about half of the files 
which made Reader tolerable.  V7 was smarter at loading, as I recall.

Then I switched to the free Foxit Reader (foxitsoftware.com) which loads 
in about a second on my machine.
