Remember MS Windows didn't have built in Zip support until XP

CAB file or something.


This is pure silliness.

I have win2K and winzip, but the complaint is not OS related, it
is the browser/web that decides it needs to Zip, and save to disk,
before I can see the PDF, by then opening that Zip.
Just plain needlessly clumsy.

It does not always make the 'Zip this' decision, which I think is
trigggered by someone deciding to include a 'Philips is now NXP"
rah-rah sheet - that is pure silliness :)

My understanding of their reply, is they undertake to fix this.

It could be fixed very quickly

1. Remove all flash
2. Remove all extraneous javascript
3. Remove all java

[By now, one has removed 90% of the site]

Tweak it so it is decently fast.
