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."

Maybe he can get them to fix UFS instead. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
