PDF

PDF is known well to everyone who has even seen a computer being used in the past 15 years

but what is a pdf

according to the wikipedia

but what use is a pdf


a pdf can be a book. a pdf can hold a jpg file. pdfs can be exploited. a pdf is a file that fits on a usb shaft.







if you ask me.. we need more pdf in our lives

it's exciting. every morning when i come into the office i never know what's going to mess up when i bring it out of sleep. will i have to plug in the keyboard twice? or maybe open the lid then close it to get the external monitor recognized. or maybe the mouse and the trackpad will be unresponsive requiring a hard reboot. it's always one of these, mac never disappoints

In 'that sweet sweet portable document formatte' thread you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the 'that sweet sweet portable document formatte' thread motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time.
