And Leopard won't even launch Classic, so FrameMaker is really
completely dead to me now. (I worked on FrameMaker at Frame
Technology and Adobe Systems for almost 10 years. Damn shame!) I
have to keep an old Mac available just to retrieve content from the
hundreds of old Frame docs I have around.
Pages is the thing for me now. I even did an event program (5.5x8.5
booklet, B&W) in it recently. Probably not as good as it would have
been in Frame -- I definitely felt a lack of the level of control I
was used to -- and this being my first, not as good as future ones
will be, but adequate and a sight easier than the same thing with Word
would have been.
I've never managed to jump into InDesign yet. I should, I know...
