First of all, may I say thank you for allowing me to join the mailing list and, secondly, I hope to be able to make good use of it.
I have recently moved over to the Mac OS X after having purchased a Mac Mini. I have used Windows - in all it's various forms - for many years and am, naturally, quite at home with it. However, in common with many other people, I am now fed up with the constant problems which never seem to be addressed properly. So, Apple, here I am! Whilst using Windows XP, I have been using Quark XPress 4.0 for my DTP needs. At the price given for the Mac version (nearly ?900) there is no way that I can afford to but. I like Quark XPress and, having read several bits about Scribus, it would seem to me that it would come pretty close to Quark. I would, therefore, like to give it a try. Bearing in mind that I am new to the Mac and am used to the ease of installing programs under Windows, I have to say that it came as a bit of a shock when I checked your site for downloads after seeing reference to your program in Mac Format magazine. I was completely overwhelmed and just do not know where to start! Perhaps someone would be able to let me know just what files I would need to download, where to put them on the Mac and any other help - in simple English if possible - you can give to make the experience reasonably easy and pleasurable. Kind regards to all and keep up the good work. Looking forward to some help. Fossil
