See the .DS_Store, .Trashes files?

The only files missing are the ._<filename> files which correspond to the resource fork of applications. Those are created on any non-HFS filesystem.

Thanks Bruce, good answer! Say, those dots, the single and the double at the top of the root listing are in dos too, of course. Must be part of some cosmic web! Things will get interesting later in 2006 when there will probably be dual-boot intel macs using OS X and windows. Or pcs using OS X , although Apple says right now that this won't happen (but I bet it will. ) The intriguing part of this is that the change seemed to stem from powerbooks and the g5 heat issue. Will all future oses have unix running in the background? Stay tuned, I guess.

Now back to Powerbooks!
