I never thought I'd say this, but I am beginning to be glad that my active
work years are getting close to coming to an end.

Though I have not been as active in the Adepters group as I once was, I
still use Epic and enjoy reading the posts. I still even retain enough
knowledge to occasionally provide an answer.

Other than a 'cash cow' I wonder what else PTC got out of their acquisition
of Arbortext. It is a shame that successful small business cannot compete in
the mega-corporation world, though Arbortext seems to have done a good job.

I have a cute cartoon I found somewhere on the web a few years ago that I'd
love to post for PTC management, but I'll refrain as I don't want to offend
anyone.

I guess PTC stands for "Pretends To Care".

    There have been some postings recently on the XSL list that XSL-FO will most likely not go beyond the capabilities it currently has. The author is saying CSS may be the way we wind up going, even for page based output.

    Having taken a class from MadCap Software on their Flare software, which uses a lot of CSS, I have seen that there are a lot of formatting things you can do with CSS.
