                   Apple Computers 
                    While it's somtimes difficult to be Mac loyalists, we have 
                    maintained our allegiance to this platform for more than a 
                    decade.

                    Photoshop 
                    If you don't want to pony up the $600 (US) for the gold standard 
                    of image editing applications, try Photoshop 
                    Elements. It's only about $75 (US street) and has an unbelievable 
                    number of features, though sadly no CMYK capabilities.

                    Dreamweaver MX 
                    Our choice for a WYSIWYG HTML editor. But we still use BBEdit 
                    quite a bit, because editing code in Dreamweaver still 
                    isn't as easy as it should be.

                    InDesign 
                    Fast becoming our page layout program of choice, and the latest 
                    version of Quark doesn't seem to threaten this decision. A 
                    few years from now, we predict Quark will become completely 
                    usurped as the standard.

                   Quark Xpress 
                    Until then, we still use Quark for many projects.... It just 
                    hasn't had a worthwhile upgrade in 4 years (including 5.0, 
                    which is a great disappointment) and that price tag is absolutely 
                    criminal.
