QuarkXPress 6.1 Almost Here?

I don't mind saying it for the umpmteenth time: Good riddance, Quark. I'll be doin' mine in InDesign.

Funny....I was just reading this thread.....

So does Panther compatibility mean basic support, or further enhacements to it? I haven't heard of any reports of Quark not working in 10.3.

Most places still use Quark and probably will still use it until they stop making it.

At this stage in the publishing game, we can officially refer to them as 'suckers'.

Amen. Good-bye Quark. It isn't that Indesign is so much better in terms of features, it just is better at running in OS X (you think Quark could have done a better job since it took them so long to move to OS X), has better customer support, easier install, no draconian copyright protections (sorry, the hardware config requirement reminds me of AutoCad or CadKey back in the mid 90's), is cheaper (esp. when buying Illustrator & Photoshop in bulk licenses) and creates better PDF's which opens up the number of Printers I can use (I'm talking professional presses since they now don't care what program created the files w/pdf's).

Indesign has changed the way I look at providing files - something Quark never did. From a "need" point of view, I don't need Quark to go out of business so a printer will switch to Indesign thus allowing me to use their press. I would like Quark to lose it's position as #1 for all the years of rotton attitudes and "it's got to be something you are doing" answers for problems with their software.

Yes, but in order to download it you have to pay $14,000 and then Quark representatives call you daily for a week and tell you where to go.

He he....
Sometimes u r forced to work with it. As some publishers refuse InDesign still, so it is possible u must keep Quark.
