vraa Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Dazzla.. i have read, seen, heard, whatever but i have "noticed" that u are one of the few who have a large reputation of owning a mac and photoshop! I am taking Digital Graphics Animation and while i don't have a mac i will be using a 2-3 year old Powercube at school and a PC also. We will be using a 100mb Zip disc to save our information.. I was just wondering if u could help me out and give me some tips and such. I have only been to the class once so i don't have more information but i assure u that you will get more information. If you are busy thats ok because its not all that urgent, its just i've never used a real mac before, this is running OS 9 btw, and its a two button mouse. I checked and made sure. The mac's cpu i'm not sure but the ram on all the computers, PC and MAc is 128mb. Well if you need more information please tell me and remember this isnt' JUST directed to Dazzla, ANYONE please take note and help me out.. lol May Neowin Live long forever.. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted August 17, 2002 Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2002 I'm not really sure if I cn help you here. I'm a relative Mac newb myself and I've only ever used Photoshop 7 on OS X with 512 mb ram. It flies on that. You won't have any problems with the two button mouse, that will work fine. ummm, I'm not sure what else I can say. I think you're gonna have to wait for a more experienced Mac user to get online. Sorry :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessejlt Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 I'm not really sure what you're asking here. First off, if you're planning on playing around with Photoshop at all, you better dump another stick of ram into that box of yours because Photoshop + 128mb ram = teh hurt! jesse ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vraa Posted August 17, 2002 Author Share Posted August 17, 2002 yeah i was thinking about that too when the teacher said we had only like 128.. i was like this Ricky : How much ram do the comptuers have 1 and a half gigs? 768megs? Teacher : *turns red* 128megs of ram i was like.. wtf in my mind... but then of course.. we're just doing still editing.. I NEED MORE RAM!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad.J Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Hey! I like Quicksilver =P My old teacher had a Powerbook G3 (old black design, ya know?). He didn't upgrade ANYTHING except the hardrive space. When I was in his class, he had Photoshop 6, Flash, Dreamweaver, and a bunch of programs and they ran smoothly on it.

Rivak Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 If all you're doing is still editing, you shouldn't have any problems. Bump up that Virtual Memory though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vraa Posted August 18, 2002 Author Share Posted August 18, 2002 because i need a 100 mb zip disk.. i was wondering.. do i need to buy the zip drive or will a 250mb zip drive work.. or what about those new ones coming out that will be around a 50x burner! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted August 18, 2002 Veteran Share Posted August 18, 2002 250mb zip drives will read 100mb disks afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vraa Posted August 18, 2002 Author Share Posted August 18, 2002 really!! cool then i don't have to get that 750mb one.. btw.. how fast are the 250mb ones.. im looking for external but internal would be fine.. i'm guessing external is limited by the speed of USB.. not 2.0 tho.. i don't have that on my mobo and i don't have the external card :p.
