I need opinions on desktop publishing s/w and hardware.  For the company
I work for I want to buy a Mac (SE), Laserwriter+, and Pagemaker.

I understand at this point that Pagemaker, Ventura Publishing, and Ready
Set Go are the popular packages around.  Any comments.  What are the
limitations, good points, bad points, other problems,...

I am also interested in purchasing a desktop publishing package for
by turbo-pc (it has EGA).  I'm interested in the same type of questions
concerning MS-DOS.  Is EGA good enough?

If there is enough interest I could post a followup.
