- Agreed 100%! I was untill yersterday concidering the purchase of one of
- these DTPs, and my final choice was for PageStream. If I wanted that
- ProPage crap I would of bought a PeeCeeeeee. An interface in a productivity
- software title is what makes it go or not. Re-learning is not productive.
-
- Feature wise, PageStream is just as good (or even better than in some
- instances) as ProPage. The 2.0 "feel" pushed it right over ProPage.
- I can really get in extra Productivity using PageStream.
-
- Kudos to Soft Logik. They have my support (and my money!)
-
- Gold Disk needs to find out about OS 2.xx. If they don't IMPROVE there
- interfaces to Amiga Quality (NOT PC!) they're going to loose a lot of
- buisiness. Expecial since the "revival" of the Amiga.
-
- More and more people are looking at the Amiga Solution, and Gold Disk seems
- to defeat that. Again, kudos to Soft-Logik.
