No, just Quark, (Illustrator + Photoshop as well) but I was debating buying InDesign as well, so I could learn it.

Our teacher told us about a magazine that had a free version of Quark in one issue... missed it though. Some guy is selling them on eBay for $70. However I can get a student version of Quark for around $200, which is not bad compared to the usual $800. I have no plans to invest in a Mac, so it will be all Windows versions I'll be getting used to. :P

I have no need to use Quark at my job, and no plans to switch jobs, but I want to round out my skills just in case something catastrophic and/or life-changing were to happen. I got the bright idea to volunteer at a print shop or the local newspaper, so I can have some practical skills... if I can find a place that will take me on. The only problem might be fitting in volunteer hours around my work schedule, we shall see.

I'm getting bored at work, so something else to grab my interest will be nice to do.

What would be actually practical, for my work, would be to learn AfterEffects and some type of 3D software, but there are only so many hours in the day. I got a cracked version of AfterEffects from someone on a DVD ROM, but I have no idea how to install it - the instructions are handwritten, I don't think my CD ROM drive is a DVD drive, etc. (:o)
