I just installed the new Adobe Reader, v. 9.1.0. Could anyone explain why it's so big! Once installed it, it is 208MB!!!!! (I am running the mac version).

Why does it need to be so big? In total, the install said it would require 275MB of space!!!! It needs a quarter of a GigaByte, to look at simple PDF's and play embedded flash??????

Just because we have larger hard drives shouldn't mean simple programs should be so HUGE!

Just to confirm, yes, I am talking about READER, not Acrobat Pro!! READER!!! It is a viewer!!!
