Hi C/M! Sorry about the misquote to you and Mr. Digman. I really need new glasses! PageMaker 6.5 is, in the graphics scheme of things, a relatively new release. What you might not know is a fairly reliable rumor is circulating throughout the graphics industry. Something to the effect that ADBE is currently working on code to develop a page layout program aimed directly at QuarkXpress (who until just recently, went about four years before a new release). Quark is major thief of market share from PMaker. Illustrator 7.01 is less than six months old - still new as graphics applications go. As for PhotoShop, I would suspect that Microsoft Excel has a pretty significant share of market, but I suspect that Mr. Gates and company still feel that it represents a niche of growth - its all relative. IMHO, ADBE still represents a long term growth vehicle. If you're looking for a major bubble, it just ain't here. Just chart it from 1985 and you'll see what I mean.
