I have a feature request for Pagemaker 4.0. When Aldus send the update, how about in a real box. My Pagemaker 4.0 upgrade will NOT fit the old heavy-duty Pagemaker I have been using for the various upgrades since I made the original purchase. In fact, as I remember, Aldus (or someone) made a big deal about the new design of the Pagemaker package. Well, tonight I was cleaning up my office and wanted to put the new Pagemaker in the old box. Guess what: I DOESN'T FIT. Now I have to store the various books and papers of Pagemaker 4.0 in the crummy box the upgrades came in. Hey, this is a serious complaint!

JR, About the problem with PM 4 manuals not fitting in old boxes: a lot of people have been steamed about this one, since the upgrade box is so flimsy. I've seen other messages left here about it, some demanding new boxes. I'm not sure how the spotted owls around here would feel about that, but thought you should know. Cheers, Steve

Gee, I'm glad someone *else* feels this way! Thought *I* was the only one that this bothered!!! (Nice patronizing little reply we got, wasn't it?) Unfortunately, Aldus is not the only one who operates in this fashion. Many other software publishers seem to also feel that established customers are worth less than new ones. In many instances, this seems to apply to Technical Support as well. …..sad!
