it seems that os x is a lot more forgiving of scratches in media… i’ve had problems playing songs and videos off of some of my cds when they’ve been all scratched up (it’d tell me that the file was corrupted or something similar), but i’ve been able to copy those files onto my comp in os x with no problems
i was just cleaning my room and in a big stack of cds i found a burned copy of photoshop 6 beta that i had problems installing on my old computer ‘cos it said that it was corrupted. i just got it to install on os x no problem.
now i can quit using photoshop 5 LE that i got from dan. not that i don’t really mind 5 LE, but i like the interface and lots of the features that 6 had a lot better.
