Defeat Quark in Mac entirely
Authored by: daveosx on Oct 02, '03 02:40:12PM

I attended Photoshopworld Expo yesterday in Miami while primarily sponsored by Adobe the Expo had many booths setup by industry leaders. The plugin vendors and layout companies where all there.
I happened to walk past the Quark booth and started laughing out loud it was so poetic the booth had 3 people in it two of them where sales staff for quark. Concrete floor, table taken from the break area and a single powerbook with projector(by the way the light from the projector was too dim to see the screen,) I stopped and asked if I could photograph the booth and the male in the picture became very confrontational he asked "What do you want a photgraph for ?" in a very rude and loud tone. Laughing I simply said this image speaks volumes to the commitment Quark has made to it's customers, total lack of concern for any of them.
Here is the image

The male sitting at the Mac 17inch was running Quark in MacOS9.

Get rid of quark it has been the scourge of the print industry for far too many years. If you are afraid of learning the software of the day you can simply change th keyboard function in Indesign and Creator2 to Quark layout.

Defeat Quark in Mac entirely

Quark is pants, it's true, but Illustrator is not so pants and also uses Command-Tab (to switch selection tools when using another tool) and I really miss this in OSX; I'm sure they could have come up with something better than Command-Control-Tab, which is a complete nightmare, especially on a PowerBook. It has to be one of the naffest shortcuts ever.
