OK, I got the job done - as per the plan. Worked flawlessly. No issues or problems - took about 40 minutes from start to finish. Doing this type of operation on a Windows machine would have been a major pain!
Just for the record, there are a number of applications that do not work you try to install them on the Mac OSX Extended (case sensitive) filesystem. Photoshop CS3 and Civilization IV were the ones that I found. Debugging the problem with CS3 was easy, but Civ IV just failed to initialize. Moral of the story is - don't take advice from work colleagues who mean well, but don't necessarily know what they are talking about. When my Mac was new, he said to change the filesystem to case sensitive for better compatibility with open source software. Don't do it. Just leave the defaults in place.
Thanks for your help, I'm glad I paid for your product and won't hesitate to recommend it to others.
