Re: PDF’s

The archive of technological innovation is filled with examples of
“superstar” products that had a “day in the sun” only to disappear. When is
the last time you found anything capable of opening a Wang document, a
WinStar, WordStar document, or how about Wordperfect 5.1? For a very modern
example converting between Word and Ami Pro? I cannot open my Word 2
documents with Office 2000. In fact I have disks of excellent articles
that are useless because of technological obsolescence. Ah, but always
people explain how this time it is different, how product x is the defacto
standard…well I have one question for you, what are you planning on watching
your VHS tapes on in 15 years?

I love Adobe products, the indexing, and the search capabilities. But in
the end it is a technology that is defined in a technological environment.
Technological advance clearly illustrates that the technological environment
will change, and the cost of converting and bridging technologies is
prohibitive for non-commercial ventures.

Wishing you all the best,

The fluffy bunny
