MacMerc.com has announced the winning letter, in which Jeff Ferzoco explains to Quark why he’s switched to InDesign. Anyone who has used both programs regularly can relate and will find this letter hilarious. My favorite part: “Certainly, Quark, I won’t undo this decision.”
I switched about 2 1/2 years ago. I was amazed by the ease of use of InDesign and the familiarity of its interface (after using Illustrator), literally, within the first few minutes of using it. It’s so satisfying to hear more and more users making the switch and Quark getting what’s been coming to them. This is good news along with Firefox gaining rapidly on IE even before being a full release, and I look forward to seeing more people abandon their OS entirely.

Unfortunately, I think Firefox has made about all the gain it can make. The surge in market share is due to tech savvy people and early adopters using the product. Until it goes mainstream, IE will remain dominant.
That being said, I have been using Firefox on both my PC and my Mac for months…

try the free ftp access plugin for Firefox:

Let me know how it works. Looks good to me, but I don’t use ftp very often.

Thanks, simanek. I’ll have to try that. Lately, I’ve been using Cyberduck for FTP. It’s free and works pretty well. I open text files from it directly for web work, and work on them in SubEthaEdit, which is a great text editor, and is free for non-commercial use ($35 for a commercial license).
