Is anyone else really tired of the "updates available" syndrome? The last thing I needed this morning was four reboots trying to install and update the Adobe Reader software. I don't know or care about this software. That I need it at all is disappointing. I never liked Adobe Reader, but it is a necessary evil on today's Internet. But this constant "updates are available" BS which seems to come with EVERYTHING now, it's just too much. Can I get an "amen" from somebody?
