Print trade might be very conservative but they are possibly the worst offenders of pirate software as well.....fonts spring to mind as but one example, so my bet is they can get a copy of OS 9 should they need it anyway.

If they are upgrading to Tiger machines they will seriously be considering CS Pro suite anyway against cost of purchase on Quark upgrade and they'll still have cash for other things. IMHO

of Quark Xpress). The print trade is very conservative, in the UK at
least. So it's an issue for people who are half-converted to OS X.
This might put them off upgrading to Tiger machines.

Why? If they're using OS 9 they already have the copy they're using. They
can bring it with them when they upgrade. If they don't have a copy, what
are they using now?
