[ubuntu-za] Adobe and SARS e-filing

[David Robert Lewis]

Okay, found the link, but its to an x86 version, so no 64bit! Adobe 
should stick to making mud houses for people who live in third-world slums.

Would be great if the e-filing was asking people to install Ubuntu or 
Foxit, and promoting local businesses which use South African software!!!

I'll see if I can compile it for 64bit, otherwise I have to boot up my 
WindowsXP in a VM and act like I'm Jacques Cousteau exploring the 
inner-science of a strange and foreign world.
