Good things about Quark

[beermonster]

i do quite like the "quit quack" command

also we would'nt have that delightful easter egg of the alien with the bazooka blowing up the little guy. It's such a classic that it hasn't changed since verion 3? i think. Stunning display, I watch it at least once a month

Version 7 now exports a usable pdf file.

Only if you like random objects dropping out at RIP time.

OK. So let's review.

Quark users are likely to become alcoholics and pill poppers.  Your wife is probably cheating on you and your kids don't even remember your name because Quark keeps you from ever getting home.  And unless you are outputting 2 color letterheads and business cards Quark can't even generate a reliable PDF.  The most common file format in the industry has only been around since 1993. Give them time.  But please take it easy on our friends at Quark......that alien is the best!    And it rhymes with Fark.

I like that its a challenge to guess which objects will drop.

[Joe]

[ninjaPB_43]

Great thread. :laugh:

I had to launch q today, it's been at least a week. I feel dirty now. :embarrassed:

Downloaded the version 8 sixty day demo for 1 job that came in. Next time I had to use it, the demo had expired and if not for this site and DCS in particular, would not have gotten the job out.

So at least we can band together to overcome our Quark headaches...sort of like the west against the commies in the 50's and 60's. (or something like that).

Okay, since this thread was resurrected...there is a new patch that reinstalls it to version 8.5.

I haven't run any jobs in it, but it did open.
