I would have called PageSetter much more than a toy Rich, though looking at
it from your obviously professional viewpoint, it may look like that. It
did one thing, and did it well… it allowed the home user, the non
professional, to do passable DTP work at low cost (including ). cost of
program and dot matrix printer) I think it was quite a remarkable feat,
considering what was on the market at the time it came out. They have since
come out with a much better product, but Pagesetter will always have a
place in my fond memories of programs I _enjoyed_ using.
I can still remember the cheering when I demoed it at a local users
group, and shuffled some text and graphics around with ease.
