Are you trying to get back into your files, or are you trying to get back into the business of graphic design? You can just use your old machine to open your old files. If you want to USE them, then that’s a different story. Forget about QuarkXpress. InDesign is the new king of the hill now. You can get the whole Adobe Suite for a monthly fee now, so you always have the latest and they will all run on the very latest hardware. If you don’t want to come all the way up to current stuff, you can get anything you want at Alice’s… er, I mean, on eBay, although they won’t be cheap if they are very recent. Is this just a nostalgia trip or are you actually trying to do productive work with graphics? -- Jonathan Fletcher [email protected] Kentuckiana FileMaker Developers Group Next Meeting: 9/26/17 _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list Posting address: [email protected] Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/>
