Quote from: StudioMonkey on November 28, 2011, 09:44:18 AM... my response is long on commiseration and short on advice.  Real world we use stuff that works properly.

Well said!!

We have q 7 or 8 here. Not sure, I never use it except the rare time I have to open an archived file from 5+ years ago. All our layout is done in Indy and dumb customers are at least smart enough to not supply q files. Haven't gotten one in years.

I was wondering if I could  talk Quark into hiring me to tell them what they need to do to get back in the game. Because... I know how. And, of course, so do you. But I thought of it first!

They're clearly aiming for the tablets and ebooks stuff, but they can only compete if they cut the price in half, I'd guess. Adobe's total package is a far superior deal, even when InDesign was still a work in progress.

Looks like they have extended their upgrade offer though I had to fix the ad in their email to me.

I can't wait to pepper spray someone to get my copy of the q9  :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

Is that an electronic dog. Or a Furby maybe?

read it again, it's ePub.
short for electronic publication

no, it's not an iDog    almost, but not quite      :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:


oh, my mistake, it actually says ePup, the 3rd bullet has it correctly spelled. too bad their software doesn't use spell check.

Someone needs to get fired over that!

Or maybe they just used quark's robust spellcheck feature.
