Flash Player and Adobe Reader in one place
Flash Player and Adobe Reader in one place
This was blindingly obvious once I saw it. I had to build a new drive image after a hard drive failed mechanically. Downloading the latest versions of the usual tools, I saw that I could download Flash Player and Adobe Reader from the same 3 square inches on Adobe’s home page. What a deal.
One advantage already coming out of the merger or acquistion or whatever you want to call Adobe swallowing macromedia.
I noticed another interesting change that I’ll have to test. Installing Flash 8 Player didn’t require a browser restart. And Adobe/macromedia had a rather cool, understated Flash document signaling the plug-in’s successful installation.
Doesn’t take much to make me happy. . .
