To avoid continued threadjacking: And now I see that Adobe *knows* that Acrobat Reader (AcroRd) keeps running for some unknown period after you've closed PDFs--including mulitple instances--although Adobe doesn't seem to acknowledge that the "not doing anything, just sitting here" readers may be chewing up 30-40% of CPU each....
There's even an Adobe-recommended "fix": "close your browser and wait five to seven minutes." Gee, that's REAL helpful.

Incidentally, we do NOT own PhotoShop in any form, and if somebody offered me a legit free copy, I think I'd turn it down. (My wife uses Corel PaintShop Pro. I use paint.net.)
