Corel *Ventura*? Now there's an anachronism! *;<)*
I remember back in the day having to choose between Ventura Publisher with
its GEM underpinnings versus PageMaker 1.0a on top of Windows Runtime.
Thankfully I chose the latter! Becoming a very early Windows adopter has
provided a great extended career path (as well as having lined my pocket
with $$$ when I bought—and since sold—some M$ stock just prior to 3.1
catching on like wildfire).
