buz Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Hello, My sig should give relevant system and version info. I'm picking this (VWs) up again and have done a fresh install of VWA 11.5.1 onto my MBP. So far so good except the upper ruler has a couple dashed lines running through it - just not crisp and clear. How can I clear this up please? Edited November 17, 2008 by buz Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 You must upgrade to at least VW12.5.3 in order to run under OSX 10.5 and higher. Pat Quote Link to comment
buz Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Oh great - just what I didn't need right now. Well lets see, guess I could migrate back to my MDD that has 10.4.11 or the Sawtooth ... hmmm ... or check the price of upgrading? I realize this is a difficult question but, if I were to upgrade, I wonder if there are any thoughts on which version to upgrade too. I'm not entirely familiar with the version releases since 11. (12, 2008 & 2009 ??) Quote Link to comment
gmm18 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 2009 of course. I can't wait to make the jump myself. You will find huge advantages over 11. Especially if you plan to go 3D. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Actually, you don't have a lot of choice. The only thing available from the factory is VW2009. You might be able to find a used copy of 12 or 2008, but if they have already upgraded, you would not be able to upgrade based on that serial number. Pat Quote Link to comment
buz Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hello Pat and others, At the moment my biggest concern is cost (of course) and secondarily, the screen resolution of the MBP has me spoiled. I've seen my options as: 1. Fork out the cash for 2009 and use VW on the MBP 2. Fork out (maybe) less cash and get a better monitor for one of the other G4s and use VW 11.5.1 3. Knuckle under and use what I have ... VW 11.5.1 on a lower rez screen. Just wondering if there are any thoughts on this - kind of a 'personal' type decision - maybe looking for 'food' for thought. Thank you Buz Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 With #1 you also get the advatage of using VW2009, a huge improvement from v11. Quote Link to comment
billtheia Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 AND, you're not going to find a "cheap" monitor that matches the display in your MBP. Take a look at the pixel density of that screen and compare it with a run-of-the-mill screens. You'll need a cinema display or other "high end" screen to get even close. Quote Link to comment
buz Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Ray and Bill - thank you - this is what I was looking for. I can imagine the improvements in 2009 vs 11 as well I can imagine somewhat of a 'new' learning curve. Probably worth it. The screen issue boils down to .... I understanding I wouldn't be happy with a 'run of the mill' screen and was visualizing a cinema display, however, I don't know how a cinema display stacks up to the cost of upgrading to 2009 from 11. I will be finding that out shortly. Good food for thought - thank you both. Quote Link to comment
