So I sent out an ad to a Magazine Publisher in Quark 6.0. He emails me and says I need to save it down to version 5.0. So I do and ask him if he's still on OS9. He says yes. So I ask if he is planning on upgrading to Adobe CS or is he going to get Quark. Guess what he says... he's planning on getting Indesign CS and then they'll all be upgrading to Mac OSX. They publish at least 5 other magazines here so this lets you peak into what the future of the industry is headed.
Here is a snippet of what he wrote:
