OK, I did some homework on this. It turns out to be that Apple, trying to dominate multimedia market, traditionally placed graphics instructions on the processor chip itself, 68k and PPC, so OS does not need to compute the 2D rendering. So, if an app tells Mac OS to draw a box, 68k/ppc will render within, but under Windows, because Intel chip doesn't have such instruction, Windows have to compute to render. This is one of the reasons color matching on Windows isn't easy since Mac will keep graphic rendering consistent between machines regardless of the graphic device driver. I have three Win2K machines and one G5, two G4s, two G3s, and one PPC running in my studio. I use SpiderPro2 to calibrate all of them including printers. None of two Windows prints in the same color, not to mention I can't even manage them to display the same color, while I have no such problem with Macs. I found these info at IBM Linux PPC section. I can give you the link if you read Japanese. <http://tinyurl.com/mh6mq> Sorry, I couldn't search in English. -- - 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
