I don't know if it's just me, or just the behavior of the Adobe Updater on my Mac, but it arrives uninvited, sits down in the middle of what I'm trying to get done, takes over all available space, demands that I shut down my production apps, won't allow me to read Salon online or anything while it's doing its job, then goes to work very slowly. Then it starts complaining about the food. No. It complains about the other open programs, so I have to shut down eveything else. About a half hour later it tells me there's a problem and I'm going to have to re-update the whole array of apps all over again. Is this lame or what? It would be a whole lot more efficient if Adobe would simply release the update(s), send out a link, let us download it, and install it at a time of our choosing. This current process is like watching "Mr. Mucus" from the Mucinex ads, only it takes HOURS!
