[Avid-L2] Re: MC4.0 + Snow Leopard = Weird Bins

Because I'm a stickler for details... You mentioned that the student is using 4.0 - note that 4.0.5 is the only version currently approved for use with Snow Leopard. It may not be contributing to the weirdness but it's worth mentioning.

I concur with the others regarding the ._ files. I've only ever seen them when moving stuff from Mac to PC. they're not using a dual boot or Boot Camp are they?

Also did they create new projects and copy the bins into it or did they open the old projects in the new system?
