Improves printing compatibility for PostScript OpenType fonts. Improves compatibility for Maya Auto Paint and Paint Effects features.

insurgent Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Ok, confessional time. Every time one of these updates comes out, I have this irrational, compulsive urge to do a clean install and update, then reinstall everything else. I guess it's from years of Windows-induced idiocy and botched updates and incompatibilities. Anyways, do I *need* to do this, are there any benefits to doing this, or am I just completely wasting my time. Does the updating process leave behind any cludge or crud, like .old files or anything like that? I really think I need to break myself of this, but man, it's hard, and I feel like I should be reformatting every so often. Sorry that this is in the wrong thread, but it's really starting to bug me.

Diata Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 well its always good to do, but i dont think necessary. the last time i did a clean install and update was when 10.2.3 came out and since then things are running perfectly fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that this is in the wrong thread, but it's really starting to bug me. totally understand. :D i had this bad habit last time, but figured out that i had better things to do with my time, so don't do that! you know, i always go to system pref - software updates every now and then to see if any update is out... a really bad thing Microsoft has taught me.

Cowpie Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 It feels odd, this is probably the longest I can remember without a system compromising glitch or the need to reformat... 4 or 5 months...with windows no way it woulda lasted this long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
