Could somebody remind me again why I thought installing Acrobat 5 was a good idea? Why? Because it’s a slogging resource pig, that’s why. And it is just me waxing rhetorical, or are all of Adobe’s OS X-compatible applications designed specifically to suck massively when used under OS 9? Not classic, we’re talking under straight-up OS 9. The whole works… Illustrator 10, Photoshop 7, Acrobat 5… all of them run like they’ve got sugar in the tank. The only Adobe application that actually runs better than it previously did after undergoing an OS X update is InDesign. Not that it isn’t ripe rife with minor issues all of its own, but at least it doesn’t feel as if all four tires are blown out and it’s dragging a large mammal carcass tied to the trailer hitch. There’s probably an interesting, pre-Macworld, OS 9 is dead conspiracy theory buried in here somewhere, but I honestly don’t have time to investigate at the moment. Right now, there’s a pile of software downgrades I need to reinstall.
