Talk about forward thinking, does anyone else remember Adobe's roots were in nothing but fonts?! To be a simple font foundary and take things to where they are today is amazing for a company. You never hear of any of their font rivals from 30 years ago even existing in any way today. That's what I call adaptability.

Yeah - remember you had to install Adobe Type Manager in Windows 3.1 etc just to use their fonts?
Obviously they have someone smart working there. They made Acrobat the de-facto standard for all forms and legal-type documents on the web - the US govt and almost all other beaurocracies welcomed it with open arms.
Now most product catalogs seem to be PDFs - imagine if you have Shockwave built into them etc...
Unlike many other takeovers in recent yeras I think this is a perfect merger...
