Sorry I already moved those to their own folders and probably won't touch until I eventually to go through my folders in a few years and be confused on why I didn't read any of them
Ha mac, I cleaned out a storage locker for a deceased relative and found a 2019 iMac, 4k retina display brand new still in the box. No linux support for broadcom t2 chip so it's my new garage radio. Youtube while I wrench.
Wrote raster image transformation plug-ins, like stochastic CMYK color separations. Our main gig was an 8 bit card advertising itself as appletalk, NT, generic ps, novell and spooled with a job description sheet to drive a flatbed laser crazy burning printing press ready plates. Wrote the job sheet.
PDF is a file extension (document.pdf) typically used for all kinds of documents that you're not supposed to edit. Like books, articles and reports. The software you use to read them is a PDF Reader. However, you can also use your browser. Most browsers have a PDF reader on board.
No Downloads directory, 770 total PDFs according to locate. 263 are work-related, the other 507 mostly e-books of various fiction, with a few manuals sprinkled in. 42 Wowio PDFs in the brief period when they published ad-supported comics. (2007..2008?)
They are all related to a niche subject you looked up ONCE on Google books 25 years ago.

Oh, this is probably a personal preference on my part. I prefer to not have a default location set, and choose which folder to save downloads to each time. Putting everything into the Downloads folder is madness to me. The only things I put there are install files and things I’ll never need again.
Aha! That makes a lot of sense. My Downloads folder is kind of an inbox that eventually gets sorted into other folders but… it is usually a bit of a mess
citation needed/wym “early” or were you in grad school into 30s. My early gen-x sister didn’t have PDF in college, she borrowed my 286 to type her college papers in Lotusworks. I, a nominal millennial, had PDFs in college.
I'm from the future, but I accidentally archived myself back in '09 and have been living in a folder marked cat Halloween costumes. The PDFs just take care of things now. it's mostly menus of restaurants I won't go to. But they've taken over.
