Adobe Illustrator/installing CS

Question
Hi! I have Illustrator 9.0 which I am very fast in, but I also purchased CS full version (not upgrade) and have installed it and uninstalled it several times b/c I am SO SLOW in it due to all the new features. I would like help in installing both so i can use 9.0 until I am good enough at CS to make hte full switch. Can you help me?
Sondra,
I believe that having both versions of Illustrator installed should be no problem. But I am speaking about the Mac OS. The only problem on a mac OS is which version will launch when you double click a file. First launch the version that you wish to work in and open your files from the file menu. Or double clicking the file when you have a version of Illustrator running should open the file in that version.
I think this will work with Windows version of Illustrator also.
Good Luck
Nick

Expertise
I can answer prepress related questions for Adobe Illustrator all versions. I am qualified from having to prepare properly separated and trapped artwork files entirely on the desktop in Adobe Illustrator and in Photoshop when Photoshop files are placed in Illustrator. I have made and fixed nearly every mistake imaginable.
