[G4] Adobe Acrobat Reader v 5.1 vs 6

[John Wilson]

You can still get 5.1 from Adobe's web site under downloads. Just use 
the one for OS 9, rather than OS X. The OS 9 version is actually a 
carbon app so it works fine under OS X or 9. Although it shows up 
wherever you download it as 5.0, if you do a "get info" you'll find 
it's actually 5.1. And it is much faster to start up and open PDF's 
than 6.0. John
