Just goes to show you why college is for suckers. I didn't read the article, but is this being used for teaching graphics arts students? If so, how typical...focusing on tools and technologies that really aren't too prevelant in the real world.

Listen, when Quark rep called me asking for upgrade my copies I told them that I will not do that because I will switch to Indesign CS3. Do you know, what they did? They gave me 5 copies of q7 upgrades for free when I pay for the other 5 I had. I did that. I love Quark.
