OT? file name
RIO, the tackle company has a .pdf file available online that shows basic
knots and how to put backing/ line/ leader all together on the reel Good idea, right? but the file name is c2974c9203c91d170f3fffe97733597.pdf not exactly something easy to remember or clear about file content when you want to find it in your 'puter clutter. I can't think of a single reason why anyone would come up with such a bewildering file name ( it's NOT dynamically generated for customer tracking, I've two copies downloaded several months apart ... since I couldn't find the first one when I wanted it ... and they both have the exact same name ) and put it on the 'Net Actually makes me wonder if maybe the RIO people aren't a bit odd

It's great & easy to use, but if you don't specify a document name, it'll just assign a long string of characters to the resulting pdf file. RIO might've done something similar & just never changed the file name. A bit sloppy on their part, I suppose. Joe F.

It could also be an automatic database pull. As Joe said, I think
that its a bit sloppy. Then again, they're tackle makers, not IT geeks. Frank Reid

Problem solved. -Dan
