ANNOUNCE: Adobe's just-released FrameMaker 7.2 Showing at
The FrameMaker 2005 Chautauqua
Adobe has just announced FrameMaker 7.2. This new release has features
beneficial to regular FrameMaker and Structured FrameMaker users! From
multiple undo to more XML support to interface enhancements, this version
is worth considering. Come and try this version hands-on, and talk with
Adobe as well as some early users, at the upcoming FrameMaker conference:
the FrameMaker 2005 Chautauqua. You'll use almost all of your senses:
- HEAR about the new features and benefits
- TALK with Adobe's FrameMaker staff and ask them your questions
- TOUCH the product hands on
- SEE a presentation of new features in 7.2
And technically you can SMELL and TASTE the wonderful food at lunch and
talk about network!
Registration is $695 for 3 days of conference tracks (including 1 hands-on
track) plus free tools on CD.
Contact the conference coordinator for more details:

THANK YOU to our sponsors, including Platinum Sponsor SIBERLOGIC
(http://www.siberlogic.com) and exhibitors Quadralay, Idiom Technologies
Inc., and Vasont.
PS-If you noticed there are 6 senses above, and you took the time to sort
out which was not a sense (TALK, which is not a sense, though TASTE is),
then use that TALK "non-sense" as your DISCOUNT code when you register for
the conference. You will receive a $50 discount off the $695 (or current)
registration rate. Register online at http://www.travelthepath.com/confreg.html .
Oh, and if you did have a 6th sense, you would have realized FrameMaker
7.2 was coming and registered for the conference already. :-)
