It came out good except for the lack of wingdings on this MAC.

(First, let me get a pet peeve out of the way: "Mac" is short for "Macintosh" and not an acronym. Please do not write it in all caps just because it is short. Thank you.

There. I'm already feeeling better :-)

Wingdings does exist for the Macintosh. It is installed as part of Microsoft Office (98, 2001, and X) and possibly also with Internet Explorer.

Note that, if you're using Mac OS X, you can use Windows TrueType fonts directly, although they are not available in Classic.

But how else would you pluralize .pdf, pc or ibm?

I would write PDF and PC correctly in all caps (because these _are_ acronyms) and pluralize them normally: PDFs and PCs. As for IBM, I was unaware that there is more than one such company, so I never felt the need for a plural here.
