I had an Amiga in high school when my neighbor ahem loaned me his PageSetter disks. It was hard to use in places, and it surely crashed a lot, but I got great grades on the homework I created in it, which often looked nicer than what the school newspaper was able to pull off.

DTP probably doesn't seem like that big of a deal to anyone today outside of a publishing house. It was freaking amazing at the time. Me, some dumb kid with an off the shelf computer, could make reasonably professional (if not exactly elegant) documents just like the news and print people? It seemed unthinkable.
