this maybe a dumb idea, and it might be after the horse got out of the barn .. . but you could put the "auto renew" on a credit card number and then cancel the card . . .
I won't contest that the Mac and Windows versions of the software get you to the same place once your within the software . . . my biggest complaint is the user interface difference between the two platforms . . ( I will admit to a bit of a bias towards Macs) but just the file navigation on...
Pr . . . you are correct it doesn't diminish Quarks achievement but by only mentioning them you are presenting an aysmmetrical view of the news . . . .
They need to develop some users, like print designers because when the Quark files start rolling in the shops will be buying it . . . but when you haven't seen a quark doc for the last 5 years there isn't much of a need for it . . . .
You can pick up a professional level, ie 24=4 inches, laminator at auction or on ebay for a reasonable price . . . just remember "let the buyer beware" we get a lot of equipment that way and you win some and lose some . . luckily we have won many more than we have lost . .. .

I just saw this thread (or re-sawed it . .. ) but I remember that my dad was in the newspaper business and in Houston they would air condition the filtered air to de-huymidify it and then heat it if necessary during the winter . . . seems a bit extreme but maybe not . . .
Just a random thought here, I have been following (not using) the threads on the newer versions of Quark and from what I have read you can place a pdf into Quark and it turns into native objects that are editable . . . like I said just a random thought . . . .
If you can find a not so older Topaz scanner it can do copy dot scans of film, mine is 1 generation too old. Or heres a link to some more . . .
