      Yes. Newsroom by springboard was popular in Toronto as I was heading to university in mid 80s.

    > Quark, a desktop publishing behemoth of the ’90s that is still very active today

    I dunno man. I guess it still exists, but Quark self-immolated at least in part by failing to port to Mac OS X early on. The rumor was they had outsourced their engineering team to India around the time Mac OS X was announced, which was very clearly not the right time for a new set of developers to take over an existing sourcebase.

    There was a Swedish Commodore magazine that did all of their DTP in Publishing Partner Master on Amiga... for a couple of years, until they silently switched to Macs. :)
