This takes me back. It's missing Quark XPress.
Around that time I was dating a typesetter who did DTP as well, and I got into the game and did gigs using Quark, Ventura Publisher, and Pagemaker. Good times!
Amusingly enough, Word 4.0 on the Mac had enough layout capabilities to do a lot of basic publishing needs.
All these many years later I can ace those online kerning tests....
Quark is still around.
But it is a vestige of its former self, largely due to the way it treated it's customers with contempt. I remember managing a newsroom with about 20 computers running Quark 3.5 or something. Needed to add one additional Mac and only 3.5.1 was available - of course it wasn't compatible with 3.5 which meant we had to pay £££ for each machine to upgrade .1
Annoying company.
When Indesign came along people were almost gleeful to jump ship
