Subject:PM vs. Quark From:Thom Remington <remingtf -at- ENGG-MAIL -dot- LVS -dot- DUPONT -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 6 Jun 1997 09:12:56 -0400
A few days ago, I casually mentioned to an acquaintance that I was doing
some freelance page makeup using PageMaker.
I thought she was going to have a hemorrhage on the spot! Removing all the
diatribe, her statement was that Quark is the industry standard, and that
*nobody* uses PageMaker any more.
I've never used Quark. The closest I've come to it is to work on a computer
that has it loaded.
So... The question is: Is my friend right? Please respond directly to me;
I'll summarize for the list.
