Could anyone provide pros and cons regarding the desk-top publishing programs of Ventura and Quark as used in a museum environment? I would appreciate any comments. Thanks Regarding "noise," I suggest that messages be limited to a maximum of one message per week per individual. I cannot understand why certain individuals find it necessary to send their comments daily or several times a day. These individuals should think about how small the museum world is and the animosity generated may eventually come back to them in a way they don't appreciate--such as trying to get a job and the one giving the job knows the name from their countless annoying messages.
