[ale] [OT] updating, securing OpenOffice, Adobe Reader / Flash

[Ron Frazier]

Preston,

Thanks for the note. That's one reason I'm reluctant to remove Reader, 
despite the problems I've described. I haven't personally tried Foxit, 
but Leo Laporte on the TWIT podcast network recommends it.

I'm probably going to move to LibreOffice once it's stable. I thought it 
was in beta, so I haven't tried it yet.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
