Lively discussions on the graphic arts and publishing — in print or on the web

In a previous century (about 15 years ago), I used to use Ventura Publisher and was completely sold on it.

Today I have forgotten it (and it has changed) sufficiently that it's as if I never used it before.

Question: Is it the DTP software to use? Is it as good as it used to be? Is there a good reason for me to use something else these days?

I can use this Win98 PC or I can use the iMac (10.3). Will I be happier or more productive with LaTeX or ... whatever? Enquiring minds want to know! I welcome your suggestions.
