This isn't why publishing pros like myself thought of PM as a "toy." It 
was because of it's inability to do increments of thousands of an inch, 
its inability to do multiple complex master pages, its inability to 
drive high-end film ouput devices and several dozen other such "pro" 
features. I always kinda liked PM for simple jobs, but for demanding, 
exact graphic or colour work it just couldn't hack it.

To me, ID has the best of both apps -- the precision of Quark, the 
Adobe-ness of PM/Photoshop/Illustrator. The thing was a dog until 2.0 
came out, but it certainly rocks pretty hard now (though I must admit 
I'm still more productive in Quark, but hey it takes a long time to 
unlearn 12 years of QX!).

The iTunes Music Store has sold two MILLION songs in 16 days. If they 
can maintain that average over the course of a year, Apple will sell 
more music than all other sources of music retail *combined.* And 
that's BEFORE you add in countries outside the US, and Windows users. 
Woah.
