And I’ve seen some scholars suggest that even the enumeration of animals, particularly the oxen and the ass, in the story of Jesus’ birth were coded references to Set and Horus, I think. The symbolism being about enemies reconciled in this new religion. The references end up being fractal…
Aw, thanks! Yes, PageMaker 6.52 and Photoshop 4 on a 1999 MacBook running Mac OS 9.2.2. I convert the graphics to bitmap PICT files to get that 1980s aesthetic for the 'zine. And PageMaker remains a total pleasure to do DTP in.
I remember Jack Webb did a short-lived series in the late 1970s, PROJECT U.F.O., which opened with Jack Webb doing the following voice-over:
“Ezekiel saw the wheel. This [UFO diagrams] is the wheel he said he saw. These are Unidentified Flying Objects that people say they are seeing now. Are they proof that we are being visited by civilizations from other stars? Or just what are they? The United States Air Force began an investigation of this high strangeness in a search for the truth. What you are about to see is part of that 20-year search.”
That pallet at the bottom is what taught me carpentry math. It was so much less fiddly than mouse-based work back in the day. I later “mastered” Quark, and even came to appreciate the areas where it surpassed PageMaker, but Aldus will always be my first love.
