IBM PC or compatible is required. You don't need to buy Windows, but
PageMaker on the PC is a windows application (it comes with a Windows
Runtime module, for those that don't have windows).
< 2. How does it compare to Mac/Pagemaker in performance?
< 3. How does it compare to Mac/Pagemaker in features?
According to the latest blurb I read from Aldus, the new PC and
MAC versions are identical in features, but I can't speak for the
relative performance (speed) issue.
< 4. How does it compare to Mac/Pagemaker in usability?
Again, the should be the same.
< 5. What does it cost? Is there an educational price?
Don't know, off hand.
