I'm about to install a bootable version of 9 on a separate partition on my 15" Ti 1 ghz

For Quark use what's the best way to go -- all the way to 9.2, or stop at 9.1.x

Seem to recall 9.2 is really a "classic layer" implementation of 9 and may/does not have all the functionality of 9.1.x such as some control panels, control strip, perhaps.

Any advice welcome,

Thanks

I use Quark 4.14 (whatever the latest 4.x version is) in OS 9.2.2 and have not experienced any problems. I'd say go for it--earlier versions of 9 had various bugs which may not affect Quark but will affect overall stability.
I do not like those green links and spam.
I do not like them, Sam I am.

Doesn't matter, it sucks on either. Try the demo version of InDesign on OS X.

You're so right, I should have stayed with the pirated copy of Q v.4 I was using. Foolish me decided to go legit on all my software and look at what it got me: a shitty version of Q. Heck, I can't even use the friggin' installer CD in the drive on my Ti PowerBook.

Quark v.5 blows in every way, shape and form.

One of the printers I work with tells me they now *prefer* ID files over Q because they have fewer problems. Go figure.
