I've never had a problem like that with Preview. I've used Adobe on a Mac for forms ONLY, but that was several generations of Preview ago. I haven't needed to fill out a PDF form in a long while.

Hey. New board.
Oh, and regarding Windows 8, what I've gathered (but I haven't done much reasearch) is that it is awesome for touch tablets (can't wait to try it on my Lenovo Tablet PC and hopefully someday an Asus Transformer Prime equivalent) but confusingly different from Windows 7 as a non-touch upgrade.
My takeaway so far is that it's not exactly bad, just different. It will take a while for people to get used to it. I have NOT (yet) gotten the impression that it's Vista levels of buggy or anything.
It may be an unnecessary upgrade for non-convergence devices.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah--I'm still waiting to find out what's either wrong or limited with 7 that 8 will improve on while we're still in the middle period where you can get either on new hardware.
As for touchscreen devices--I do find myself reaching out and trying to move things on my laptop (thank dog I'm alone--I look really dumb doing it), but the ergonomics aren't that great--they'd be worse at work on the dual screen setup. The laptop half of that is out of reach, and if it were in reach, it's on my non dominant side--the right side is clear so I can write and manipulate things on the desk.
That will be an interesting transition--seeing if touch makes it onto laptops and desktops in the standard workplaces. Well, maybe not if and just when.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Do we have a feeling about HTC phones? Or is the question less who the manufacturer is and more the question of OS and 3G/4G?

Hey. New board.
I like my HTC phone

My myTouch is made by Htc. It's officially 4g, but it's not that fast.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If it means less of this then it’s a good thing.
