It is interesting that I have been hearing about paperless offices for years but have yet to see one. Its like the people that say books are going away and being replaced by electronic media. I, as a reader, plan to continue reading PAPER books. I do not plan to read on a screen, I do that all day. It is much easier to read a book at the beach, in the tub, in bed etc rather that a laptop, PDF, etc. I do not listen to books on tape, I READ. I love the SMELL of a book. I love the feel of a book.
I like FrameMaker. I know FrameMaker. I plan to use it until it no longer works on ANY of the machines I have. I still use FrameMaker on my MAC. I have been using FrameMaker since 3.0 back in the early 90's (when it was Frame Technologies). I use it as it is. Even though I use most of the other publishing software also, I prefer FrameMaker. I have to use the other software because my customers do. When I get a FrameMaker project it feels like I am putting on my favorite and most comfortable outfit, usually sweats and warm slippers (I work at home so I can!!). I give my two cents to Adobe reps when I see them. I try to give them ideas like most of you to continue the development of FrameMaker. I HOPE that Adobe continues updating FrameMaker. I push FrameMaker to my customers. In the work that I do I am surprised at the software that some customers use to create the manuals. I am surprised how little the document designers know about the software that they use. OK my two cents for a Friday. Have a GREAT weekend everyone.

Perhaps that has something to do with Narayen's failed attempt at Pictra. He feels he needs to succeed in that area, to prove his machismo or what ever. "don't leave any customer behind" reminds me of the US "don't leave any child behind" education system. Umm, but what does that actually mean, anyway?
