@raymaccarthy@mastodon.ie Well, Brainerd said in an interview with the Museum of History and Industry in 2009 that *he* approached Adobe about a merger. He was tired and wanted out of the industry, basically. Still, since InDesign was already in the works at Aldus, maybe they could have fought on without Brainerd at the helm, but I get the feeling he really wanted a guaranteed pay day for the next phase of his life as a conservationist.

@stonetoolsblog@mastodon.social It's probably still good for paper publishing or Fixed layout Electronic distribution but it's terrible for reflowable ebooks. Also ghastly that it's now rental only.
