Yeah, I've bitched about this for years. I mean, HFS was an
improvement over MFS (can you imagine a filesystem structure that
keeps everything at one level and doesn't use directories at all?),
but they really blew chunks on this. Of course, HFS+ is only a minor
improvement over HFS. But then, HFS is way, way better than MS-DOS
8.3, which is what it was being compared with at the time.
Ya know, Apple stated on their Web site, "there is never any good reason to
have a case-sensitive file system." Can you believe that? I wrote back to
them and stated, "there is never any good reason to have a case-INsensitive
filesystem." But, of course, they never replied. :)
Try bitching at Jordan. Maybe he can get them to fix UFS instead.
