I am on a Mac, and when downloading Flash 6 from the Macromedia web site, I am given choice of two different file formats: “.bin” or “.hqx.” What is the difference between these two file formats?

The .bin file downloads faster but is less compatible with older Macintosh systems. The .hqx file takes longer to download but is more compatible with older systems (such as Mac OS 7.0, 8.0 and 8.5).

What is your question?

*Sadly, we had to bring back ads too. Hopefully more targeted.
