<blockquote>
All kidding aside, a new middle ground was established (somewhere between markers and markup) and other software publishers eagerly jumped into it, creating not just ripoffs like PrintMaster, but new software such as The Newsroom, Create-A-Calendar and Awardware, each designed to provide a new ‘good enough’ solution in an area previously limited to professional or handmade alternatives. -- https://theprintshop.club/2021/07/12/a-tongue-in-cheek-look-back-at-broderbunds-the-print-shop/
