IDSN 2.0 MAC RET UE 1PK | CD | P/N: 17510347 // A Sealed Relic from the Desktop Publishing Wars Offered here is a factory-sealed original box of Adobe InDesign 2.0 for Macintosh, released in 1999 — a genuine time capsule from one of the most pivotal moments in the history of desktop publishing. At the end of the 1990s, QuarkXPress ruled the graphic design world. Studios, publishers, and designers were deeply entrenched. Then Adobe made its bold move. InDesign, the spiritual successor to PageMaker, entered the arena — not yet dominant, but ambitious, modern, and clearly aiming for the throne. > This sealed box represents the beginning of that shift. // Why This Item Matters – Factory SEALED — untouched, uninstalled, unspoiled Please note: this item is factory sealed. Once opened, returns will not be accepted. – Original Macintosh retail version – Complete with original CD, packaging, documentation, manual and historic branding – A cornerstone title in Adobe’s transformation of the publishing industry – A true collector’s item for classic Mac and DTP historians This is not just software — it’s a relic from the moment Adobe challenged Quark’s dominance, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become the industry standard. // Collector Appeal Sealed Macintosh software from the late 1990s is becoming increasingly scarce. Items like this are highly sought after by: – Vintage Apple collectors – Desktop publishing historians – Graphic designers with a soft spot for the pre-Adobe-subscription era – Collectors of sealed, untouched software boxes Once opened, this piece of history is gone forever — which is exactly why it has survived for over 25 years. // Compatibility Notice This software is intended for classic Macintosh systems of the late 1990s era.
