I would also endorse PageMaker 5.0 over Quark or Ventura.  Beside being
easier to use, although easier is a relative term, it is a more common
program when collaborating with designers, service bureaus, outside
editors, etc.  I also feel the PowerMac is an excellent platform for
PageMaker and is not nearly as expensive as many people think.  The AV
versions offer limited video excelleration and some useful imaging options
through the video in/out bus.  The voice recognition, while having very
little practical use is a lot of fun as well.
