iMac Slot-Loading refuses to wake from sleep mode
If I put the iMac to sleep, the hard disk will not start up again.

Re: MS Publisher equivalent?
Dan As a Mac user and a graphic designer, I despise Publisher, not only for being a M$ product and for being a very lame excuse for a DTP program. It's like Word with a few extensions and extra tool bars.

There are quite a few page layout apps available. Which you use depends on your needs, of course. As far as I can tell MS does not make a Mac version, *COUGH* and in an admittedly quick look at Versiontracker I did not see anything comparable. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome. As usual my thanks in advance! Again, it depends on your actual needs. My housemates use MS Publisher on a PC to do a pretty bi-monthly newsletter and an annual yearbook for their RV group. Nothing they do cannot be done in AppleWorks. Pages would work too. They use Publisher because he's a PC person and this is her way of getting him to Do Stuff instead of play Spider all day. (that's gotta be the greatest justification I've ever heard for using MS products! ow. my brain hurts now). Ok, I take that back. There are things they can do in Publisher that don't happen on a Mac. Publisher looses data, photo resolution, formatting, and crashes arbitrarily -- totally corrupting the .pub file. Never had that happen in AppleWorks. So I guess that's a joy we've just missed ... - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --- http://www.simonroyal.co.uk and http://www.nmug.org.uk --- sent from my PowerBook G4 867Mhz, 768MB RAM, Mac OSX 10.5 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: MS Publisher equivalent?
Here's how it goes: Apple provides Pages with iWork. Pages works great for me! iWork is not very expensive. Adobe provides the VERY expensive inDesign.

Those markets depends on the supidity of their customers to survive. There are a few people, probably 1% of the market, that actually use/need the advanced features. Of course, if the market was actually targetted to just them, they'd never buy the software as it would cost 10billion quatloos per copy at those volumes. MS Word vs AppleWorks, heck... MS Word vs TeachText is a great example. heh. I ran into an interesting marketing coup the other day. A new Mac user that was perfectly happy with the cheaper product, MS Works (not sure of the product name) on his Windoze laptop, absolutely insisted the only equivalent was full-on MS Office ($400 ?) on his new Mac.

Re: MS Publisher equivalent?
Dan I use high end / high price products. I use them because of the features that aren't in cheaper products. Do I fall into that 1%. I think that is pretty low, what about all the designers who use Adobe, Quark, Microsoft products, like myself, most of which are Mac users. I do agree a lot of people buy expensive products without realising there are cheaper or free alternatives that would suit their needs. I wrote an article on Office Suites for LowEndMac pointing out this very idea. http://lowendmac.com/ed/royal/08sr/free-office-alternatives.html If you need the features in high end software then go for it, but you should check out free or cheaper alternatives - they may suit your needs and save you money.

We're on the same page, Simon. If you use/need those features, then yes, that puts you in the 1%. Nothing wrong with that. As an informed user, you're getting / using the right tool(s) for the job.
