OT: view pdf file on a unix system

[Dennis Malen]

Interesting observation. I am a Mac devotee. I will ask our IT Department to 
look into that. That having been said our Wyse Thin Clients have posed 
minimal service problems and are extremely reliable. We have people who have 
up to three physical screens connected. In addition, many of our people need 
three filePro screens open at a time. I understand I would also be able to 
do that with a PC but maintenance is too high.
