[comp.sys.mac.apps] Any Ventura for Mac reviews?

Mac users:

Can any of you give me a personal review of Ventura Publisher for the Mac?
My company is moving to the Mac platform and because I currently use VP
on the PC I would like to be able use all my VP files on the Mac.

Also, we plan on purchasing an Adobe Postscript cartridge to transform
our HP LJ II printer into a Postscript printer for use with our future
Macs.  Do any of you have a review on using this particular printer
setup with a Mac?  A poster on another newsgroup gave the Adobe cartridge
a hearty thumbs up for use in the PC environment.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Steve.

I just read a review in Byte, I think. It was probably the
November 1990 issue but I can't swear to that. From memory,
the review did say that it was easy to transfer PC Ventura
files to the Mac but that compared to the features available
in other desktop publisher software on the Mac, that was
the only reason to use it.
