I too am pretty disappointed about what is NOT in PageMaker 4. But that's
trivial compared to the outrage I feel over their price tag.

For $150 UPGRADE, they better damn well have a LOT of standard features that
everybody else has by now. Or, they better not have the chutzpah to charge
that price for the little they are giving us now.

Or are they giving us so little now so they can "respond to market pressure"
later and charge yet another $150? It's sad when up-and-coming companies turn
into industry giants.
