A railway platform is an unusual place to find a computer that does desktop publishing but the local station has this business card making machine that does quite whizzy things. True I've not seen anyone brave or sad enough to use it, it's surely a symbol that 'dtp' or putting together words and pictures to create an impression, is for anyone.
Desktop publishing is also a skill for the curriculum.
It is moving fast from Kings X into the home as there is a rich market of home creativity packages. It need cost only 250, be colour or plain vanilla, it just needs to print a gratifying page. Before today's railway revolution, desktop publishing happened around a program now called Adobe PageMaker. You hopped between different programs for making pictures and writing text and intuitively arranged things on a page. As this first happened on an Apple Mac computer, this is how lots of Mac people grew up.
