The stock price action also makes me nervous. (But...Look at todays action!) I would agree with your criticisms of acrobat. Adobe really needs to release a cheap (under $50) simple acrobat editor. The full version of Acrobat does let you edit the documents, but only one line at a time, which to me is nearly worthless. Adobe can do better. Illustrator lets you edit anything on an acrobat page, but only one page at a time. I don't know if their new Publishing software does better, but it is way too expensive just to buy for Acrobat editing. They have other problems, such as letting their web content creation software grow old and stale (Go Live and Image Styler, for two examples) and seem intent upon repeating some of their old pricing mistakes (the new postscript driver for inkjets is horribly overpriced at $150). But given how overpriced many stocks with as poor or poorer products seem to be nowadays, my gut feeling is to stick this one out. Just my humble opinion, though, which has been wrong many times.-JB
