Anyone else getting a flashback to when Diablo II was in stores No, but I got whiplash when I saw the $899.95 pricetag! :)
really the last huge Mac application that wasn't ported to OS X. Now the brand new Macs at my school's newspaper can actually use the OS they were meant to run.
I don't recall the name of the guy who runs Quark, but he was always known for talking about how the Mac is "a dying platform". He can also be seen making first post's to slashdot stories regarding BSD and Netcraft.

Anyone else getting a flashback to when Diablo II was in stores?
Ah yes.. because when I think of QuarkExpress, I immediately think of slaying demons, collecting precious gems, and casting magic spells on vicious great spiders.
sure, because i always equate decapitating the undead with aligning text! bring me the +5 ringlets of helvetica!
and I have no clue about Quark Express, so according to good tradition, this is the right story to post my opinion on.
I just have to say that Quark Express is the worst f***** web browser EVER! And they've taken away all of the good options from the last version. Quite frankly I'm scared that Quark Express will be totally useless as a web browser with version 7.
Works well. I'm running it on GNU/Hurd v1.0. Shame I had to stop playing Duke Nukem Forever to check it out.
Just popping out in my hover car...

For the Mac? Ohh two weeks ago.
Trolling is a art,
Or save yourself several hundred dollars and pick up a copy of, say, Quickbooks Pro. No, it's not the same function as Quark, but neither is Photoshop, so I didn't think it mattered.
It's not a 1337 graphx program. It's a desktop publishing application. One of the best widly used one.
Saying to get photoshop over it is like saying to get a refrigerator instead of an oven just because they're both used in the kitchen.
Quark and Photoshop have differnt purposes wholely.
Guess it does :)
No, but I got whiplash when I saw the $899.95 pricetag!
I'll trade you 5 SOJs for it!
Bugs? In Quark? That's crazy talk. Didn't you see? According to Apple, it "runs flawlessly" under OS X.
Clearly, putting the word "express" in the name of the product reveals a sense of humor previously unsuspected at Quark... :-)
DO NOT LEAVE IT IS NOT REAL
WOW, now you'd better get a new 64MB SIMM to upgrade your good 'ol Mac!!! Otherwise you will not be able to run the latest version of Quark. You bought the previous version and the PM at the same time, right?
Brace yourself for the speed bump in copying files. After the surrealistic experience, shut up.
$5 / month hosted VPS on linux = awesome!
Wow... that must have been a big company.
All's true that is mistrusted
Clearly they have put the XP in QuarkXPress.
and they want their press release back.
What did you eat for lunch?
Most InDesign users wouldn't be sending out InDesign format documents to prepress, they'd be sending PDFs.
Quickbooks Pro?!?!? iTunes is free!!!!
Moronic nerd post of the day!
Quark is used to layout stuff like that issue of Maxim you've been drooling over or that Amazon.com ad in the Sunday paper. Its used to layout and design major publications with absolute accuracy.
You don't make goddam webpages with it (I guess you could) of type up your resume. LaTeX? Let me guess, you're an engineering major posting from the dorm room?
OS X is now a real OS. It has Quark XPress...
Yes, every real OS has its share of problems.
When all you have is an axe, everything looks like a grindstone.
