I’ve still got a Panasonic Electronic Typewriter (1989 model) for all those pesky .pdf conference registration forms and credit applications, as most organizations don’t put them in a “fill-in” format on the internet. But of course, I still have an overhead projector and a computer that has a 5 1/4” floppy drive in the storage room too, LOL!

That's what I have Adobe Acrobat for. That and it lets me "print" web pages to my desktop for later reading.

...for all those pesky .pdf conference registration forms...

Holy DASD, Batman -- does that bring back memories!

In an earlier time I was a sysadmin and was responsible for (among other things) a web server (Apache) on a 20,000-plus user group of U*X systems.

One day helpdesk sends me a ticket "web server doesn't support interactive PDF" Peet says:

Whisky...

Tango...

FOXTROT.

But not in those words.

Did a quick search and found that there WAS such a standard (had been for years) for what I had always thought of as a static data format AND that there was a patch for the BUG in Apache's PDF support.

I don't really miss the constant patching OSes, Apache, and Sendmail...

My Name is "Peet" and I'm a recovering alcoholic sysadmin.
