Thanks for nothing Adobe

Chromebook users, have you ever received an email with a link to this nonsense:

/https://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

If you have, you are well aware that there is no option in the pull downs there for our computers. I could not let this pass without a comment. Typically, there is an attached PDF file which your chromebook will open just fine as is right out of the box. Worst case is the PDF could be password protected. The standard chromebook pdf handler even includes a password entry dialog handler which works just fine thank you very much. I hate getting spam from folks telling me to do things I don't really need to do.
