Happy Anniversary Adobe!
InDesign certainly has come a long way.
I remember version 1, spitting and crapping, and just lying there on the hard drive doing very little. I worried about the child not making any friends. It was a tough sell.
Then, version 1.5, starting to crawl about. And eating solid foods. But still making messes. More people were coming around, but the kid was difficult.
Ahhh, but then came version 2. Able to walk all by itself, and holding its own in real production workflows. That’s when I knew our little baby could make it in the world.
Of course versions 3 and 4 have been spectacular! Doing tasks and solving problems that no one had ever imagined.
I’m so proud of the kid, I’m KVELLING!
You know why I became an InDesign fan and later the super expert of the program? Because somebody in the US didn’t follow strictly his NDA with Adobe and sent me a copy of a beta version in january 1999.
In may 1999 the website https://www.milic.com/indesign was ready but offline. And when, on September 1st, an Apple dealer told me that he has for me one of the two InDesign boxes available for Belgium, 30 minutes later I was in his office and bought him v1.0 for 300 euros. I spent the next whole night and morning in front of my PowerMac G3/266 MHz reading the User manual and testing the software.
The same day the website was online.
Hey Branislav,
Oh yes, I remember now. And of course, all the examples came from someone who used the name “Montenegro”.
Now who could that be? ;-)
This is very funny. Click here to see Claudia’s scrapbook detailing the history of InDesign.
Sandee,
Remember this ? ;)

Buon compleanno InDesign! This butterfly certainly changed my life…
Vola farfalla, vola!
This could not be possible without InDesign : https://www.milic.com/photos/index.html
By the way, just to make sure that there shall be no parental quarrels that could cause the kid an identity crisis: InDesign was born exactly on August 31. You can see its Birth Cirtificate here.
Hey… Happy Birthday!!!
Who’s paying to drink champagne on its behalf? ;-)
For anyone who still has Indesign 1.0 or 1.5 lying around there are some cool easter eggs in it. Simply open up the About Indesign dialog and type “help” you will see a list of commands which are all easter eggs.
They even have a full quicktime midi easteregg that turns your keyboard into a synthesizer!
hey, i’m desperately looking for old indesign icons. beginning with version 1.0.
no problem with getting the icons from versions cs2 to present, but google couldn’t help me out with the older ones.
it would be really great if you guys could help me. preferred size: as big as possible ;)
and if you’ve got illustrator, too – i take it all! ;)
thanks a lot!
Ah ha ha ha! The link above; https://creativepro.com/story/feature/11464.html made my day (evening actually). ;)
