Ha Ha... I used Pagemaker 1.0 on Windows/386.. It was painful. Thinking back on it now, I think I would have been more productive doing my own dental work. (Less painful too.) I was a Computer tech, and the desktop publishing interested me a lot.
Most of the things I did took up too much memory for the printer (LaserJet 1). I had to delete some elements, print the page, put the page back in the printer, and print the items I deleted. Man, the time I wasted on that machine.

So I am right there with you. Kreg

Design is still an Apple & Adobe Domain?
That is where I grew up and still do most of my stuff...
In 1988 (most of you weren't born then...) I started one of the first all Mac design studios in western France. Illustrator 88 and Quark XPress were the green light that told me "go". That same year I had the chance of watching someone try to do a page layout on Windows with PageMaker. No comments.
Today Linux is much more advanced than Windows was at that time and all
the software is free. I use Gimp more than I use Photoshop, but I use
Fireworks more than I use Gimp... Blender rocks! And I have formal Alias
Wavefront training.
OpenOffice should produce W3C compliant xhtml.
We should have an alternative to Dreamweaver MX.
But nobody is going to replace Adobe Illustrator in my heart any time soon now. That is one hell of a software program for people who know how to draw!
