I've been using OS X at home for several years now, both my B&W G3 and clamshell are running Panther at the moment. I use them to do simple pre-press work and fileserving and webbrowsing, and it's do-able, but now the company I work at has started to install Panther on our G4s, because some magazines are going to use Indesign CS and Photoshop CS so we had to switch. OK I had Panther already running on a partition, but they use Netboot images so they started from scratch.
My workstation which is a G4 933 w/ 768MB RAM isn't as fast as I had hoped. Using only Photoshop CS is slower than running Photoshop 6.01 in 9.2.2. I notice the difference while dragging the images around the screen, the screen redraw is a bit slow, f.e. it looks almost the same as doing heavy Photoshop work on a first rev G3. I've been told that this is because the network speed in OS X isn't up to speed as it was in OS 9 (all images are on the fileserver). This is bugging me, because that means a slowdown in production. Too bad that this hasn't been fixed by Apple. I mean we have to switch to OS X (what IMHO is no problem), but then make sure everything is running A-OK, right? * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
