Yes, I argee with you to some extent. The DVD-style boxes are both sexy and sleek, but....SUVs and Rainforest be damned! I want a friggin manual! Call me tactile, call me tacky, I don't care. My fingers love the appendix, and if that's a sin, I'm a sinner.
Seriously, you'd think for a grand-plu$ piece of mediocre (IMO) software they would at least include a god-damned hard copy manual. I've long ago switched to InDesign, because the Quark shirkers truly drive me up the wall. Now, they expect me to upgrade for 500 bucks (because I, like most, stuck with 3.32) for not being 'loyal' to a program that is a One Trick Pony. F*ck them and their $199 6.1 'upgrade' shipping late next year.
"Just in time for Jaguar comes Quark 6! What? Well, if you want Quark to take full advantage ofthose 970's running Panther, you'll just have to wait 3 years."
lol, to true, ppl at quark have so much money they don't seem to care what ppl request. not trying to say the program isn't good because it is. I just think the price one pays for quark is what someone should pay for indesign and vice versa. I could easily use either, I throw my favor to indesign for versatility, speed definitely quark 5 in os9, we'll have to see how it works on a osx...
Now that its out, I hope to move to it in production within 6 to 12 months. I expect a LOT of bugs, a learning curve maybe, and of course the Panther updates to all be factored into the big equation.
Now if only I could bet an EXCHANGE CLIENT for OS X I could move away from OS 9. For good.
Distiller 6.0 is a Good thing too. Testing now...
distiller 6 is the wave of the future, over-priced rip software is officially dead in my books...

Actually, ALL software should come that wa
well thank goodness they don't
sometimes pdf on screen is good. sometimes you want to take the manuals to your big leather couch and puruse them with a bottle of cold mexican beer.

Quark should follow Apple's lead with Final Cut Pro: you pay 999 but get three big informative manuals.

And Mtropolis ruled. Shame on them twice.
