	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.

	Try bitching at Jordan.  Maybe he can get them to fix UFS instead.
