New Re: Shouldn't that be to Aldus?
Illustrator was, I believe, Adobe's first consumer-level product (in those early years they made their money licensing PostScript printers). Illustrator began as, and has remained, principally a single-page application. They acquired Aldus in the early nineties, and permitted its flagship product, PageMaker, gradually to die of neglect, although I used it up until the turn of the century, whereupon I jumped ship to InDesign, a product with which I have been largely pleased.

cordially,
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

New I loved PageMaker
Every time someone points me at a new "desktop publishing" app for Linux that's supposed to be The Shit, it suffers so badly in comparison to what I used in 1993 that I want to cry. "Better than MS Word" is not saying a damn thing. If you don't know why I say PageMaker was worlds better than anything FOSS I'm seeing today, then you never used it in anger.
