Default OT - iPad in the news today ...

I dont think the pdf format is going away, it is the standard document
format. I have serious doubts the iPad will make it, Apple set the
price too high (again).


Uh, PDF is NOT Flash.

Yes, PDF is firmly entrenched. It's revolutionized the industry I'm in.
Where we once loaded files on disc and sent them to a prep house to be
output to film to be MAILED to printers and publications or the like
while shlepping printouts to our clients for approvals, we now just
send PDFs to both.

Which really sucks for the prep houses... who've largely disappeared.

Flash still bites the big one. (Go, HTML5!)
