Quark 4.11 and Acrobat are my two main working tools so I'm staying with Os
9 for at least another year, maybe more, until Quark (and Apple) sort
themselves out. Quark 6 is bound to be riddled with bugs so it may be a
couple of years. Meanwhile, I'm holding on to my Os 9.22 TiBook and 7500/G4
with a vice-like grip since Apple have declared that they don't want me as
a customer for any new hardware.
