🪨 Aldus PageMaker on the Apple Macintosh 🛠️

It wasn't the first desktop publishing app, but it was the first of importance. I use it to rebuild the 40-year defunct #OMNI Magazine, resurrect a 40-year defunct software rivalry, and examine how the effects of the publishing revolution trickled through the public sector.

This post comes with a free gift!

Aldus PageMaker on the Apple Macintosh

While resurrecting a 40-year old defunct magazine, I accidentally-on-purpose resurrect a 40-year old software rivalry.

@stonetoolsblog Whoa! Back in the 90s, my hustle was a classified ads app for PageMaker and QuarkXPress.

Aldus featured it at MacWorld Boston one year, and i got to meet Guy Kawasaki, who was promoting Aldus, IIRC...
