    Also,  this kind of nonsense is one of things that makes running 
Windows so miserable today...  For instance,  Acroread pops up a modal 
dialog,  asking me if I want to install some junkware I've never heard 
of,  that freezes Firefox -- this modal dialog can be hard to find 
sometimes,  so I end up having to kill Firefox.  I have to supervise the 
Windows machine for a minute or so when I turn it off,  which is a real 
pain when I'm running late for the bus at the end of the work day.
