🪨 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.

#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.

#GlobalTalk #MARCHintosh callout re: PageMaker 4.2...
Does anyone with physical copies of PM4.2 and manuals/books have the 4.2 version of the Aldus PageMaker Script Language Guide?
It might solve a problem for me (and @dillera).
Thanks!

I cut my design teeth on this.
3 months of learning traditional typesetting and layout for our high school newspaper, we got this on the only Mac SE our entire school (or anyone in the school) had. The year was 1988. The version was 3.0. We didn't use QuarkXpress. We used this. I gravitated towards it, instantly.

#SwiftUI: Wonder how many people know or remember how DIFFICULT it was to implement #FloatingWindows (first seen in #Aldus #PageMaker), #palettes, and #TearOffMenus in classic #MacOS.
The #WindowManager was a bear, wasn’t it, Dylan, Jeff?
Now, just one line of code does it!

@quadra700 I'll try, they do have VM's on Infinite Mac with #PageMaker on it and you can save them locally to your drive: https://infinitemac.org/#:~:text=Infinite%20Mac%20is%20a%20collection,era)%20within%20a%20virtual%20machine.

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.

✍️📰 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.

#Aldus #PageMaker DNA still courses through my veins (and my current #HealthTech start-up).
A couple of years after #Adobe acquired Aldus I had pleasure of meeting John at a friends house in Los Altos (mid-90s)
IMHO: 3 souls responsible for creation of #DesktopPublishing
• Paul Brainerd
• Steve Jobs
• John WarnockWhile I disagree #Adobe same co Warnock founded (#SurveillanceCapitalism)

“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 😅

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.

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! 😵💫
