I remember David’s article from 2003. It ran at the same time that I had switched from Quark to InDesign.

I recall thinking, “If Quark’s foremost expert is switching to InDesign, I know I’m making the right decision.”

Now, years later as an Adobe Certified Instructor for InDesign, I can’t even imagine using Quark. Every time I see a Quark file, from one of my Quark-to-InDesign students, I feel like I’ve taken a quantum leap into the past.

Thanks to Adobe for making an exceptional application that was priced affordably, so that its users did not have to steal, er “borrow” it (though the irony of Quark was that the paying customers were the ones to suffer).

Kudos also for Adobe’s phenomenal support of educational pricing!

I remember David’s article. I also remember being at the Quark conference where Fred Ebrahimi stated that all Quark users were thieves. But at least the customer support reflected Ebrahimi’s attitudes.

Moving to ID was a great day.

I’m glad that InDesign doesn’t NEED and evangelist because it sells itself with all it’s great features. I’m also very glad that it HAS David as an evangelist (or maybe he is the featured performer in the InDesign choir!!!)!

Thanks to all contributors and moderators for making IDS such a welcoming home for InDesign users everywhere!
