NMR: Quark and IBM's Processor Plans

Hmm, wonder how Adobe feels about this.. ;-)

btw... 6 gHz, does have a ring to it doesn't it...

cheers

Which to vote for!? You can't put a positive and negative in the same topic! ;)

Are we still waiting for quark.....:o (yawn).

Quark is digging its own grave. I use indesign 2 and its great. I couldn't see going back to quark and its dated interface. Graphic designers are quickly migrating to OS X and quark is going to be left behind. Indesign is quickly becoming a more viable alternative.

Now if Adobe would ease up the Indesign licensing, I'm sure they would get more installation in University labs. Indesign is a royal pain in the arse to deploy if you try to push an image to lab machines (about as bad as Final Cut Pro).

I understand that this is expensive software and Adobe [and Apple] want to protect thier investments... but Indesign is the type of software that people need or they don't. Joe user doesn't need a warez copy of Indesign... It is only really useful to graphic designers...
Let the students swipe copies here and there so that they are 'hooked' when they graduate and begin to move into positions where they have purchasing power. Real firms will likely buy the software (or they can get their pants sued off).

If Adobe would do this... they'd push Quark totally out of the market in half the time (that it is currently taking them to push Quark out of the market).

Quark was dead when InDesign 1 came out.

Quark takes 3 years to update to 4.01 come on!!! InDesign 3 its just around the corner and they still standing still.

Come next year around this time Quark is going to be as usefull as door stop.

I can't beleive the nerve they have thinking Quark can survive without Apple. Ha! And they are saying that at a time when InDesign 2.0 currently kicks the sh*t out of Quark. These guys need to take a pill so they can experience the REAL WORLD, and then they'll wake up and realize they are already dead. Ego's will do it every time.

Long Live InDESIGN!!!

Why even bother with mentioning that 6 GHz Power4 is in the works, we haven't even seen a Power4 in the Mac arena yet. This seems to be the way of it though, all this talk about wonderful power we'll have, yet were still dealing with requiring dual processors to try and stay in the game.

Ok, no more ranting....;)

Well folks, if there were EVER a clear sign it's time for XPress users to move on to something better, I'd say this was it! Heck, the man Ebrahimi practically said it himself, but of course, what else COULD he say about InDesign except that it was a "death sentence" as he put it. I mean, Quark's got their collective heads shoved so far up their own asses, it's impossible for them to see the truth- that InDesign blows their crappy Neanderthal ap out of the water!!

And if you ever needed proof that Quark, Inc lives in it's own dreamworld, the thought that they could develop a "niche" in the Windows world is totally laughable. It's also very sad! They've really lost it.
Well, I for one, will not put a sinlge penny more towards any future products from Quark. They've really gone off the deep end! And I say good riddance to them and their glacial upgrade cycles and their 1980ish application.

They're already dead. Now they're beginning to stink up the place. It's time to bury them!

This is the best news I've ever heard!!!!


I'm finally rid of that God-awful program forever!!
Party at e-coli's house!!!!!
:cool: :D :cool:

oh yeah...shake your booty..get your groove on.

Goodluck to Quark ... publishing is dead? Last time I checked the Magazine shop was full of things printed on paper and full of ads... and created on a mac.

Apparently they would be happy if mac users and shops just stuck with OS 9 so they wouldn't have to be bothered with updating thier software.

They're ignoring the users and industry that supports them. For the first time I'm considering InDesign.

Could that CEO be a bigger A55hole? He's even been sucked into the microsoft .net fantasy.
