laugh it up while i wrythe in pain.. there's people where i work who insist upon using quark 4 to create their (archaic) designs.
they export it to an RGB pdf
then rasterize in photoshop
then reduce to 72 DPI
it looks like total crap too.it hurts.
it really does.

That reminds me of a friend who has to create websites with FrontPage and transfer them via 28k modem for his job. What a nightmare...

my boss uses powerpoint for everything to look "cutting edge" as he claims, and publisher for all the print work.
*side note: my boss and some sales guys are flying out to a huge expo on monday and just 2 days ago gave me specks for a tri-fold brochure. i finished it this morning and my boss says to me... and i quote "looks great... send me the files (which are illustrator 10) so i can tighten things up."
now, first of all... he doesn't have illustrator so he tells me to "print it out and i'll do it the old fashioned way" which translates to...
he will have to re-do them from scratch in publisher.
i feel as though he has released a rabid chinchilla on my gonads.

ya know what we need guys?
we need some red coolaid and a nice beach chair. then we need to sit outside our workplaces and soak up some rays. . .
then we need to go help k0na with that chinchilla problem. hang on buddy, we'll be there soon.

why would those morons at quark base their future on creating shitty web pages rather than matching the advanced typgrophical features of InDesign
- kerus0
probably for the same reason why quark still isn't osx compatible:
they're DUMB

i love people who make logos in quark too - and save it as an eps

gotta say...this is one of the main reason i come here to NT..
god, i've had a laugh reading this thread..1) kona...all the best with your chinchila gonad problem..i understand they're nibbly little buggers ;)
2) bio, i second your notion to get some drinks, some sun, and some chinchilla help for kona..
3) i spent 10 years working with quark..
got pretty adebt at it, and although i still hate it..i always thought it'd be kinda cool if they spent some time and tricked it out to do web-stuff..only because i spent so long learning it, itd be nice to have a new web wysiwyg editor that i could fly on as quickly as ol quarkXpress...
thats just me being lazy..
it's like..
ya spend sooo long on something, ya figure...well...it'd be nice if i could just get 'this' to do 'that' rather than learn a whole other program..still tho..
it does, indeed suck ass...
soo.....
when does quark6 come out?

Bio, I think my problem just got worse... to fight the rabid chinchilla my boss released on my gonads I put a wolverine down my pants.
You can all learn from this... never put a wolverine down your pants no matter how cute and cuddly it looked at the zoo.

i thought that link said it was for XP aswell..?
anyhow..looks to me like it should be marginally better than what we have right now....
so who knows?
maybe shortly, we'll all be singing their praises..and then monkeys will fly out of my but.
