So I’m now up and running on my new MacBook Pro (Intel Inside) and I thought I’d report my experiences with Creative Suite 2.
First, the speed is not as bad as I had expected. Perhaps it’s the extra speed in my MacBook Pro, but even the spinning beach ball is not too long.
The decimal issue is still around, but is slightly different from the original problem. In the original problem, before the Tiger update 10.4.8, numbers would display as 8.50005000500050005.
On my newer machine, with the update, a number that’s supposed to be 14.4 (the amount set with auto leading), shows up as 14.39999999999999. (I have no idea of the actual number of digits as I stopped counting at 5.
However, as Peter Truskier has reported elsewhere, none of these rounding issues actually affect any documents. The decimals are purely cosmetic.
Nice to know.
