Wow I have a subscription to Computer Shopper and I usually just toss their CD's into a corner as they never have anything worth installing. So just blowing the dust off and ...

Is the permitted to run on one computer at a time, or one computer ever; ie, if a big kid is expecting Father Christmas to bring a new computer after Xmas or maybe later after the January sales, will it still be possible to install this on another computer if you cease using it with the first/old one?

Secondly, what kinds of web documents is Quark good for?

BTW, remember that if you buy the magazine at Tesco or some ASDA stores, you can often use a manufacturer's vouchers (such as coupons for nappies, baked beans or anything else against the purchase) to ultmately reduce you till bill for the mag.

£800 for a bit of software!!! Sell it for anything they like if Businesses are buying! Just buy Serif Page Plus 11 for 30 odd quid upwards or get older versions for nowt! It's just as good for mere mortals!

I use Primo pdf creator. It installs itself as if it's one of your printers. You send your document to it as if you were printing it, and it saves it as a pdf. You can download it for free at:

I don't have the magazine yet, so I haven't tried it with Quark.

I've just rung up Computer Shopper to get their three trial issues deal and the first edition I would have got would have been February.

You'll be lucky. The sub copies will have gone out already.

Depends what you're using it for - Quark and Indesign are industry standard. I wouldn't use anything other than Quark, even for my home use. In the industry, unfortunately £4-800 is not unusual for software.
