PDF is a standard?

[eculbert]

No more than windows is a 'standard' I believe. It IS
wide spread, but with the exception of the windoze
reader, adobe charges, but the ability to implement
apparently is NOT infringement or all the major
distro's would be being sued by Adobe. So IF that is
what makes it a standard, then so be it.

My quarter cent worth.

Did I mention, 2/23/07 the FCC dropped all cw (AKA Morse code) testing for any class of license as a ham? Just pass the written and "U's a ham"!! Many sites test online, but you have to go for the real test. $14 for as high as you can climb in one session.
