Uninstalling Adobe software on Mac and PC


I have two seemingly simple questions -- one PC, one Mac.

1. I recently installed Adobe Creative Suite on my PC, wrongly assuming that it would install over the older versions of Design Collection software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc. Now I fear removing the older versions may delete files being shared with the newer versions. The "Add or Remove Programs" windowlists only one link for Creative Suites and separate links for each of the older Design Collection software. Can I delete the old Design Collection programs from the "Add or Remove" windowwithout harming the recentCreative Suiteinstallation?

2. Also, I'm ready to install Creative Suite on my PowerBook, but I don't know how to delete the older Adobe software. There aren't any uninstall programs in the application foldersand I cannot find instructions anywhere for uninstalling Adobe software on Macs. I would simply drag the program files to the trash, butprograms like Acrobat add plugins to non-Abobe products like Microsoft and Macromedia software. I don't want to make the same mistake on my PowerBook, that I made on my PC. I am running OS 10.3.7. How do I remove my old Adobe softwarefrom my Mac?

2. Just throw em in the trash. OSX keeps all related files (except preferences) in the application's folder.

You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs on this forum. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bo staff.
