Here's a little game to play.  This is a short list of the tasks running on my computer. 

See if you can't find what's wrong with this picture.

If you guessed that Firefox and Internet Explorer are combined taking up over 512 MB of memory, then you're in the same boat as me.  At least initially.  If you saw beyond that and wondered why RapidShareManager.exe was taking 50% of my CPU even though it's just a simple download manager then you get points for being extra observant, but I played this game with my good friend Alex, and he pointed out the most disturbing thing about this image that I didn't even realize:

Adobe Acrobat is taking up only 6.3 MB of memory!

When Alex pointed this out, I was amazed!  I had to double check the task manager to make sure that I didn't screw up the image when I doctored it to make Firefox take more memory than IE.  Sure enough, there it is, sitting in my task manager taking up a measly 6 megs of memory.  It's a mystery to me how this happened, has Adobe actually put some effort in bringing down the bloat?  Might I actually be able to use Acrobat Reader instead of Foxit Reader soon?  That would be fantastic!  I'll keep you guys updated on this astonishing new development.
