Important Notice: If you downloaded Palm Acrobat Reader from this site prior to 6/5/2002 0850 there is a time limit on the software. Unknown to us this was the public beta version software. The correct software with no time limit has been added. This means you must delete the Acrobat Reader program from your palm and download the new version. The old version will not work. This whole event came as a surprise to the entire Life Flight Crew. If you have questions or problems please contact Steve Lehmann at steve@osflifeflight.net.
