if one was looking for salespeople in debian to satisfy their minimum expectations in order to buy it, he/she would have missed the whole point. 1 A tax reviewer that would only "sell" service if the customer satisfied their demands is one that would least likely have human input in whether what is submitted or not is valid. The machine will take as valid an expense of 129,99 as 12999 if that is how it was entered, your tax will be less and it will not be the adobe client's fault. A real auditor would inquire on the validity of a 13 thousand gas receipt. 2 The security of your private tax information will be transmitted through win-dose pseudo-security by a pseudo software's internal encoding to some insecure server (unless it is based on linux which can handle security well from the doorstep and inwards). 3 I think the decision of the system should be based on a better and wider overall look of the big picture. These good people here are not able to make tax-related decisions for anyone. I am among those who have been helped and eager to know enough to help others. The problem with adobe is not one that could be addressed here, but I am trying to establish that the problem is not with adobe's products but with those who have taken the blackmail and internalized it. Imagine being on death row for all the wrong reasons, for not shooting the deputy only the sheriff, and the only way to appeal is by submitting a form through acrobat. And there may come a day where running and distributing linux may become illegal.

I would just get a second hand generic tablet just for that purpose and leave it half charged and off the remaining time. It would be more secure than trying to keep your private information in the online pc you use daily. If you can't spare 50 bucks for a tablet chances are you don't need an accounting service or filing taxes probably :) Katrin PS Have you watched Brazil?
