In a local computer advertising/information mag, one of the writers has a continuous column on switching from pcs to a mac using OS X. In the latest installment, he comments on the 'shadow' files that begin with "._" which are evident when transferring files from a mac to a pc. I know they are there when I switch files but he comments that " Mac OS hides them, but win dows doesn't." Does Mac OS even have those files at all or do they stem from the transfer from mac to pc? Is there a setting which will get rid of them, a tweak on the mac side maybe? The files are all small and don't seem to relate to wind ows in any way but they are a pin. My opinion is that they aren't on the Mac sideand I'd like to correct the writer. If I'm wrong, of course, I will just shut up! :) Thanks.
