1. Re: Looking at Upgrading to IDCS3 . . .
Buko. Sep 23, 2008 10:28 AM (in response to cgrscott)IDCS3 was always better than CS2. Right from the start the problems are with Leopard.
The nice thing is, now that CS4 has been announced, if you buy CS3 before CS4 ships you will get a free copy of CS4 -

Eric @ MCA Sep 23, 2008 11:15 AM (in response to cgrscott)* for about $8 postage and handling judging from the last two versions. -
3. Re: Looking at Upgrading to IDCS3 . . .
cgrscott Sep 23, 2008 12:18 PM (in response to cgrscott)Thanks for the tip about the two versions for the price of one, for a limited time, before shipping costs are added.
This would be the most practical transition for me.
If IDCS3 is stable in Tiger 10.4.11, I'll be good because I don't plan on upgrading to Leopard any time soon.
Thanks again. -

Eric @ MCA Sep 23, 2008 12:53 PM (in response to cgrscott)CS2 and CS3 are both stable in Tiger 10.4.11. CS2 is more stable on PPC. CS3 is good on both. -

cgrscott Sep 23, 2008 1:05 PM (in response to cgrscott)I just ordered the IDCS3 upgrade at the Adobe Store after their live-chat-help gave me a URL for ordering IDCS3, otherwise you only find IDCS4 as the only upgrade selection. -

7. Re: Looking at Upgrading to IDCS3 . . .
cgrscott Sep 29, 2008 7:07 PM (in response to cgrscott)I received my shipment of my InDesign CS3 upgrade and have it installed and updated on my Mac desktop and laptop, both running Mac OS 10.4.11. It seems to be very optimized for my Dual G4. It has a lot subtle interface improvements that are pleasing to me.
I suppose if IDCS4 was optimized for the G4 it would work well on a G4 but it sounds like it is only optimized for G5s and Multiple Core Intel chips.
I'm not sure I'll quality for a free upgrade to IDCS4, paying for just the shipping. I'll just have to contact the Live-Support-Chat on the Adobe Store web site or just call an Adobe Customer Representative and find out.
But this was a good time to move from InDesign CS2 to CS3. I'm still using G4 Macs and IDCS3 is very mature with bug fixes and patches and still fast and stable on PowerPC G4s. -
8. Re: Looking at Upgrading to IDCS3 . . .
peter at knowhowpro Sep 30, 2008 5:48 AM (in response to cgrscott)Hi Robert:
I've beta-tested some early releases of ID CS4 on my PowerBook Titanium, 667mHz, 1GB RAM, which uses a G4 processor, under Tiger, without problems.
(I switched to my Windows machine to continue testing on later beta releases, for reasons not related to any problems or limitations of the G4.)
HTH

cgrscott Sep 30, 2008 6:35 AM (in response to cgrscott)Thanks for sharing that with me. That sounds encouraging.
My G4 desktop and G4 laptop both have 2 GBs RAM, running under Tiger.
