  1. 🪨 Aldus PageMaker on the Apple Macintosh 🛠️

    It wasn't the first desktop publishing app, but it was the first of importance. I use it to rebuild the 40-year defunct #OMNI Magazine, resurrect a 40-year defunct software rivalry, and examine how the effects of the publishing revolution trickled through the public sector.

  6. #Scribus is a (*the*) #floss desktop-publishing #dtp software and totally underrated.

    What can I say … it really grew on me. It gets the *job* done.
    With a fraction of the (monetary, computational and cognitive) resources a (*the*) competitor would need. 🌱

    Change is fast and slow at the same time. It's crazy to me when I remember how much technology changed in the newsroom before I finally tapped out. And how few people it took to run a newspaper by the end.

  8. ✍️📰 Aldus PageMaker (1985) marked the beginning of desktop publishing, and in conjunction with it, Apple's Macintosh computers were the standard for many years. In 1994, Adobe acquired Aldus and now offers InDesign for desktop publishing purposes.

  9. “It’s always flow control.” I printed again but instead of the ImageWriter II, I sent it over RS-232 and captured it with CoolTerm. I then sent that file (400K) to the ImageWriter II over serial. The flow control gods were smiling because it worked that time! So, I just need an external print buffer/spooler for CDTV and A-Max 😅

  10. Printing from PageMaker starts off fine but quickly turns into garbage and starts ejecting pages from the ImageWriter II. I suspect there’s some hardware flow control problems with longer prints.

  11. ZOOM AND ENHANCE ✨ Having this larger display was certainly an upgrade over the built in display of a classic Mac, but then again, lots of flicker! 😵‍💫

  12. More CDTV pretending to be a Mac printing shenanigans: PageMaker 1.2! Ahh the logo alone takes me back. There’s a sample document on the disk so let’s try printing that!
