You will LOVE ID. I am so glad I kicked the PM6.5 habit, although I 
was an early adopter and had to twist my printer's arm to let me do 
jobs with it. He came around though. About the only things that 
aren't Pagemaker-ish in InDesign are the two object selection tools 
(one to say, move a frame, the other to move a cropped graphic around 
inside the frame), and also that you have different keys to hold when 
resizing graphics with the selection tool. Adobe's upgrade system is 
very fair, unlike another company that starts with a Q, and I've 
never felt I didn't get my money's worth out of an Adobe upgrade 
product.

What bugs are in Illustrator 10? I've not found anything wrong with 
it, although I'm not a power user, only occasionally edit pictures 
and import them to other programs.
