No. I am not talking about that. I was talking about the controller where encode/decode Apple Color Sync, which is a chip on the motherboard, not on the graphic card. Windows have to encode/decode color info within OS, Mac doesn't, thus you get the constant color matching regardless of graphic card. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
