Tonight I’ll need to finish the workplace poster, then the Nader art on Thursday and Friday. Tomorrow I will format and upload a sneak peak at some of the color art. Otherwise mission accomplished with the “Grey’s Anatomy” final artwork. That was not a problem with the PC, but who knows. I am hoping the issue is with the fact that I have a 3 foot extension cable between the Mac and the monitor’s cable. I have not called tech support on that one as I have had no time. The green pixels are gone on the Mac, but the screen now will go crazy with digitized looking color shifts, and at one point it went completely haywire with patterns and lines every which way. Worked great on the PC except for these weird flickering green pixels that would crop up when the screen was totally black, like at start up or on a website with a black background. My Dell Precision Workstation had one of the few PC video cards with Dual DVI that could run one of those displays, so I got one about 2 years ago. The latest scary thing is that my 30″ Apple Cinema Display is having issues.

If the Universal flavor really is that much faster, I cannot wait until the new version comes out. I did notice a little lag time on some functions in PhotoShop, but not bad. They say the Universal programs will run several times faster than their pervious counterparts.

A lot of software companies are waiting for the next major version release of their programs to make the switch to a “Universal” version. Similar to the Windows emulation software the old Mac’s used to use to run Windows programs on a PowerPC chip, Rosetta allows the PowerPC programs to work on IntelMacs… but slower than they would on a native PowerPC Mac. Legacy programs that were written for PowerPC chips (the previous chip used by Apple) run on the new Macs under an emulation program called Rosetta. Apparently the switch to an Intel chip is only advantageous on a new Mac with programs that are written for use on the Intel chip. I understand that PhotoShop CS2 is still not an IntelMac “Universal” program, and that it’s performance is actually degraded on the new Macs. The PC did just as well as the Mac did, and vice versa. I will say there is no real difference between the PC and the Mac with respect to the use of PhotoShop CS2, my Cintiq/Wacom tablet and doing my usual digital color work. Seems to me there is a problem when apparently dumb luck is the only discernible reason for the solution of a problem. It’s a little scary that the AppleCare people just shrugged their shoulders and said “well, it’s working now, so… no problem”. It is important to note I did nothing different on tries number one and two, which resulted in my DVD drive drawer popping open and the computer freezing, than I did on successful try number three.

After two re-installs of OS X the firmware update that kept hanging and crashing the computer finally took.
#Senuti for windows pro#
Looks like my new Mac Pro is finally coming around.
