Monday May 19, 2008 Community offer to John Loiacono at Adobe!
I was encouraged to read about future support for Solaris x86 with AcroRead posted at the Adobe Site.
I posted a comment to Adobe, and would like to post it here, as I am offering to wash John Loiacono's car when Adobe finally releases Adobe for Solaris on x86 platforms. Any other OpenSolaris community members that would like to join in on this festivity would be more than welcome to do so. The Adobe offices are in downtown San Jose.
I hope Adobe will update the SPARC version also, and although old, this is much newer than the 4.0.5 version most users on Solaris x86 is been crippled with for years, actually it could be more than a decade old...the SPARC version is only 3 or 4 years old I think.
We would need to make some stipulations for such an offer though, such as:
1) Both x86 and SPARC versions of AcroRead will receive a full wash, including windows and interior.
2) wash only the outside of the car, no windows or interior if SPARC version is not updated at same time.
3) Additional spiff for Thanksgiving 2008 delivery, a full tank of gas.
4) Additional spiff for July 4th 2008 delivery, in addition to a full tank of gas, you will also receive a lube job, it just don't get much better than that, Johnny!
I am very encouraged to see this on the Adobe page, very encouraged indeed.

Instead of begging, why not throw some weight behind Evince?

Actually, the Solaris SPARC version is currently up-to-date with the Windows, Mac & Linux versions - 8.1.2 is the latest release for all of those.

Alan,
My bad, I see I do have 8 now, I somehow thought we were still back at 7.x on Solaris SPARC. Either way, I hope Adobe will update both to the same level, and JohnnyL seemed to imply that would be the case in an email today.
Although he mentioned he just got an 18 wheeler with 2 tractors he is using for commuting the kids around...so I better bring a big bucket of water and a big brush...when they release it.:-)
In the meantime I'm going back to being a begger, my Mom said I was always good at that...*ROTFLMAO*
