Howdy,

Thank goodness. Between that and the difficulty of eliminating the  
Internet Plugin I immediately switched to Preview for most of my  
viewing; I still used Reader to peruse the font list---if Preview  
could give me that (can it? :-)) I never use Reader.

I certainly did like that

It loads much faster on my Powerbook. I no longer get the spinning  
beach ball and too often a subsequent crash when getting a font list.  
All in all I'll admit Reader 8 seems much more Mac-like, fast and  
stable than version 7 was on my system.

Good Luck,
