Quark flavor strange
So, what, is there like ONE guy doing the development on QuarkXPress? It's been HOW many years since version 4 came out, and now version 5 adds about FOUR features?? And no OS X support? Bugger. I bet scroll wheel mice still don't work with it, either.
I'm a Quark lover going back to my high school newspaper days -- I felt like I had "mastered" it long before any other program. Version 4 does its business perfectly in 8mb of RAM and I don't think it has EVER crashed on me (experiments with weird Xtensions notwithstanding... but crashes in that realm have been few and far between, too). I don't really want to see this program become obsolete, but for heaven's sake, you'd think Catherine Martell was running the company, cooking two sets of books and preparing to burn the whole damn thing down for the insurance money.
