Hmm, thats stupid. I guess they dont realize that using special plugins
you can view streaming PDF files so you dont have to download the ENTIRE
file. Ill make a note to them about it.

Hmm, errors? Really? Which ones? Id write to sales@usr.com and tell them
that their SALES material on their web site is messed up!
Im quite suprised of this. I USUALLY find the USR site to be helpful.
Well, yer right, my Acrobat reader reports there are errors. I wonder if
maybe Im using an old version? (2.1). I have noticed that they sure do
draw alot of extraneous stuff in those files that makes output slow.
