Adobe user tend to be pretty set in their ways, and Adobe products are
generally very good when it comes to things like color printing.

We've moved most of our customers who're using Adobe Publisher to Apples
running OS X.  The eMacs give a lot of bang for the buck, and Adobe has
always had strong products for Apple.

FWIW, my brother was engineering lead at Aldus in charge of the OS/2 port
for PageMaker, the first port to take advantage of OS/2 features like
threading.
