yes as a matter of fact I did.
When I search "convert to black and white" using those terms, in Adobe photoshop CS2 the resuts are:

Do you want black and white or grayscale…two very different things.

The fastest way is to chose image>mode>bitmap.

For better results, use the image>adjustment>threshold command. Get the image the way you want it and then convert to bitmap. For more control you might want to adjust the contrast and/or brightness of the image first.

Always work on a copy of the image which will allow you to experiment all you want.

Before giving you the advice to look in Help I took the trouble to check. Unfortunately you had omitted to mention that you were using CS2.
