Good things about Quark

Red Dawn... changed my life.

Ditto. And it's one of the shittiest movies ever. :laugh: Unless you look beneath the surface, of course...

You DO understand. :wink:

Duh. I think you already knew that. Roadhouse? HELLO???

Quark tombstone...haha....but they are STILL AROUND.... don't think some people will ever stop using it, they can't cope with the "learning curve" on InDesign or are just plain addicted to frustration. That's always possible.

yeah, I think a lot of the desingers who started with quark, keep upgrading
They are never shown how to use indesign, I would be willing to teach them.
we upgrade our version of quark just for 2-3 customers.

Same here. We have one customer in particular that has been hanging onto Quark like a life raft for years. His main concern is having to re-learn a new program. I haven't had the heart to tell him he isn't that good on the one he is using (Quark). I think this week we've talked him into a new Mac Mini and CS5. We'll see.

well in my new field of business seems the standards in rips n stuff are caldera, postershop etc (afaik not appe based yet), and i had a fantastic conversation with the quark "fanatic" who said creative suite didnt work and the colours were always wrong from files that originate from creative suite etc. there were always little elements that somehow became tiffs and changed colour when he dropped them into quark and ripped em......

....then he told me postscript wasn't dead

and he'd never heard of "appe" at all........as for "pdf rendering" - pffft you'd have thought he was thinking i was making it up the look on his face :laugh: :laugh:

very nice chap and i think i'm gonna get some work off him  :cheesy:

Hello beer...

Sounds like he is stuck in 1998. Most Quark diehards are though. And you can tell he keeps up with the industry.

Hey beer, some things change, but some stay the same.   :laugh:   Headbanging customers, for one...   :rolleyes:
