I dunno... was it named after some old farts duck? or was his name indeed John Duck, or was he just quark'es.
Read a passage in nighteen eighty four, about when people talk in doubletalk they sound like ducks quark quark..and 1984 is based around the publishing media thing...I dunno maybe thats to clever for quark

A shit name for a shit programme.
For years I couldnt pronounce the name, couldnt care about the programme. It was funny in interviews though, used to say 'yes I can use Xpress'

i luv quark. i want to rub it all over my body. anyways, i do really love quark xpress because it's so user unfriendly, if you really want to work with it bigtime you have to know *all* the shortcuts. at the end of the day it's more like playing an organ than moving your mouse. and knowing all these shortcuts makes me feel cooler than the people who don't. like, i'm a pro or something, you know. only for that i'm working in xpress.

Quark:
for all you who don't know was added to Xpress because of it's phonetic value....The "Quark" is the sound that everyone makes when it dumps you out because of an error of type 2

i swear, my quark never crashed... it's sooo stable. and i love the martian thingy. and the new one, well new, you know with the big martian when you've hit that special key combo 5 times or so. or was it four. anyways, the big green one with a bazooka. it's soooo the reason why i spend soooo much money on xpress.

Yeah who the f*ck put that in there I often wondered, It's good first time you do it but i wouldn't go that far rabattski!?

seriously. when someone showed me i did like a 100 times in a row. the whole freaking day. now i know why xpress is so freaking xpensive. anyways, how did we get from why is quark called quark to fart propelled hawks?

talking about absurd things. just read on a dutch news site that a guy got arrested and fined because he didn't want to use a shopping basket in a supermarket. oh, and he's also not allowed to go to that supermarket for a year. that is really really funny.

rabattski what martians? what your useing is microsoft word chief.
- unknown0
word? what's that? i use bb edit. anyways, draw a box, then press shift-alt-command-k at the same time. wait and see. and in xpress 4 do that 4 or 5 times in a row and you get a bigger one.
