Yesterday I downloaded Acrobat reader from Adobe's site and the filename
was called "AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe". So if I leave the name as is and a
month later I search for 'acrobat' or 'adobe' or 'reader', I am not going
to find it.
What's the problem with calling the file
"Adobe_Acrobat_Reader_60_enu_full.exe"!?? Whats the reason for saving a few
characters?

Most of my downloads from the web have filenames that are cryptic or no
more than 8 characters long. Why the limitation when Win9x and above
support long file names?

Sorry I am not picking on Adobe but they chose a long filename buT WHY
adobe is adbe and reader is rdr? What's the reason for saving some
characters? I don't get it.
