Case Woes

Don’t ever select “case-sensitive” HFS+ on your Macintosh.

This is one of those rare cases where it becomes obvious that OS X is actually a compromised form of UNIX/BSD.

Some major applications (e.g. Photoshop/Adobe products) were built with case-insensitivity as a requirement.

I wish, like this guy, that I had done more homework before I selected the more rigorous option.
