I'd forgotten about PageMaker. I was on my college newspaper staff and we used it for layout.

It was a small college in the rural midwest, so the local newspaper ran our copies. They didn't use digital tools, so we printed our content from PageMaker and laid it out by hand on a wax board. [1]

RIP and many thanks for making our jobs easier. At least to the point we waxed the master layout.

(Thanks for the link—I'm a fan of James Gurney and his videos on Gouache painting on YouTube.)

I'm a big fan of James Gurney's dinosaurs. That was my childhood. Some of the most beautifully illustrated books.

Had no idea he was still around or had a blog. This is awesome.

I value Pagemaker, still use it to this very day.
