Existing users, 
I'm still not clear whether to blame Apple or Adobe. All I do know is that Illustrator really DOES NOT work on INTEL iMacs / Mac Books and Photoshop is just about as bad. Crash, Crash, Crash. If you want a second opion (or 100's) go to the Adobe forums or Google and type in "CS crashes".
Do not part with you money until this whole CS2 Suit of applications is repaired and O.K.'d for use in the Forums and Lists.
Use older versions, or Freehand instead.
It's all a terrible catch-22 as you really ned older macs, os x and illustrator to make a living anymore.

I never had a crash on my MacBook Pro 17, and CS3 is much faster than CS2 !!!Thursday, June 21 2007 @ 07:49 PM PDT

Does the poster of this comment work for Microsoft or something, or just someone who is mad because they can't afford to buy CS3?CS3 has ALL worked fine for me on my Intel Mac as did CS2 before it!

This comment is total crap. I ran Illustrator CS2 on intel macs for nearly a year without issues.Reply to This
