New Set: * Say 'G-bye' to the big blue wall. We're finally redecorating the set. Don't ya just love our plastic tarp sheet thingy? Viewer Q&A Is In Full Force: * "Getting sick of the bloatware that is Adobe Reader on Windows. Any ideas on an (hopefully) free alternative?" We got 'cha covered, Mike. You want Foxit reader!!! It's a simple, small, and reads Adobe PDF files no problem. It's free for personal use * There's no install for Foxit Reader.
