On the Mac, can I have both unity 2.6 and 3.0 installed at the same time?

I'm not ready to upgrade my current project. However, I do want to play around with all the 3.0 goodness.

simply rename unity 2.6 and type "unity 2.6" instead of just Unity so when installing it will not overwrite your older one

so u may still select the same download area :)

Source: i did it myself

Install them in different places
