The biggest problem down here is printers who do not want to take anything except Quark files.
Most can take PDF files but many designers are so incompetent that they can't produce a decent PDF file for the RIPs.
The fact that just about no one bought version 5 of Quark and Quark 6 doesn't save down to version 4 is making me a shit load of money as I'm seeing a ma$$ive upgrade to Mac OS X and Quark 6 so I can't complain.
Things should get very interesting in the next year or so as most shops are ending up with InDesgn CS on their drives since it is part of the CS upgrade suite. InDesgn has no copy protection, at least on the Mac version, so many designers are learning to use it rather then pay Quark almost $900 to upgrade to Quark 6 since many can't upgrade their pirated version of Quark 4.
