    If any one here is annoyed of acrobat reader taking ages to loadup when viewing simple pages from the browser, do the following (win/PC only) - although I have not tried it on my mac yet.. so i wouldn't try it unless you need to.. any way macs have the preview, which i think is fine for internet zines..

    find the folder acrobat is installed in :

    x:Program FilesAdobeAcrobat
    6.0Reader" folder, where x is the right drive letter.

    Find the plug_ins folder and rename it 'plug_ins_disabled'
    Create a new folder named 'plug_ins'

    Copy the following files from "plug_ins_disabled" to "plug_ins": EWH32.api,
    printme.api, and search.api

    Of course this will limit the functionality to viewing non-encrypted pdf
    files

    You might want to experiment leaving some plugin's in if you need to open up different pdfs.
    I mean, .API files, like reflow.api and search5.api (if it's there), and see
    how it affects functionality and load times.

    you could swtich to using something like FlashPaper, it handles images and such nicely. Not heavily used obviously.
