Adobe Pagemaker 6.5+, running in the Classic Environment aboard Mac OS X.2 is a shoddy thing to behold. It crashes approximately every 15 minutes, sometimes leaving the Classic Environment alone and bewildered, sometimes leaving it destabilized—a pathetic and quietly blubbering mess, sometimes taking the whole shaky scaffolding crashing down with merely a whimper. My wrist is beginning to hurt from my compulsive habit of hitting Open-Apple-S after every minute change or edit.
