They write:

"What's new in this version:
This April 2005 update includes fixes from the original InDesign CS 3.0.1 updates (posted in March 2004 and August 2004), as well as new fixes. Users who installed the original updates will need to install the April 2005 version in order to receive the new fixes. The original updates are no longer available separately."

Did they ever study software engineering? Well, one of the prime tenets is that versions be identifiable. If you bring up three patch level updates to a program, call them 3.0.1, 3.0.2 and 3.0.3, that's how counting works. If they didn't learn that in grade school, they should have learned it in college.

To issue three different 3.0.1 updates is just utter insanity!

Of course, Adobe's software also doesn't work properly on case-sensitive HFSX file systems (even though Apple for years tells people not to make the assumption that Mac OS X runs on a case-insensitive file system), and the bogus installers they use search the entire network file system, thus taking HOURS to install the software.

That aside, the software (at this price!!!) ships without printed documentation!

But hey, all that aside, maybe there's some use for this software...

...it just annoys the hell out of me, if I have to dearly pay for software that's in many fundamental ways programmed in such a shoddy way.

The only thing it has going for it, is that Quark is even shoddier in many respects.
