Let's see a long long time ago I was in the middle of a then complex 
program and I needed some critical information fast. So I found a PDF
with what I wanted on the net. It took for ever to download. I don't 
remember what program I used to read it. But I do remember two things 
the size of that PDF was out of proportion to the information on it and 
it wasn't what I wanted. I hate it. I could have got to 10 web sites
in the time it took me to read that one PDF.
  Later when I have some time on my hand I did a little research into
PDF. It was mainly created for secuity. They didn't what someone 
changing a file with premission and passing it off as their own work.
It maght be alright for office work, But Who Cares.

I rearly print anything. If I find something interesting on the net I 
download it or bookmark it.

That's why I liked a will written *.hlp file's index.
