Portable document format. ISO 32000. It is basically a format for documents that is handy to use for most, because many different apps can open and display it. Came on the scene around 1992.

If you installed computers in the 1960s and have truly forgotten everything you ever learned, that is a net positive, as nothing from the 1960s is relevant, or, matters, today. If you have a credit card or PayPal account, you can pay Mr. Cote’ in about a minute. If you have a credit card you can open and have a PayPal account in about 5 minutes. Mr. Cote’ will email you a file for the month (s) you paid for, and, it is a pretty safe bet you will be able to get the PDF to open, and you can then read what interests you. You can create a file to store them, leave them to pile up in your email, or delete them when you are finished. Your phone, device, laptop or desktop computer are all capable of opening a PDF, or, allowing you to pay for the subscription that Mr. Cote’ is offering.

A good rule of thumb on the World Wide Web is, if it costs money, and you pay for it, it will happen so fast you won’t believe it.

I’ve got a feeling you will be just fine.

Best,
