Essentially, PageMaker 1.0 running on a Macintosh culminated in the invention of desktop publishing. Originally owned by Aldus, both PageMaker and desktop publishing itself have come a long way. Once the industry leader, PageMaker lost a lot of ground to QuarkXPress, primarily due to aging and a lack of meaningful upgrades. But Adobe has changed all that; the recently released PageMaker 6.5 is everything it should be.
