In our class, we'll be using Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed on the Macintosh partition of your lab computer.
The safest mode of working in our lab is to work from the Documents drive (the yellow drive on the desktop of your computer)
In case of an accidental freeze, crash or log-off, your files will remain there temporarily. If you crash while working from the desktop you will lose your work. Working from a flash drive or external hard drive is also not recommended -- it's much slower than working on the hard drive, and you will also lose your work in the event of a crash or freeze.
Be sure to save your document (file) frequently while working
Work from the computer's Documents folder, and save frequently. After you're finished, save and close your file. Copy all your files (drag and drop) from Documents to your flash drive.
