Don't worry, you're not alone. One of the main criticisms of MacOS X by UNIX users has been that its filesystem isn't case sensitive. But the fact is that case sensitivity at the filesystem level brings few benefits (except at the server-level), and mostly increases confusion amongst ordinary desktop users. When you've been using a case insensitive filesystem your whole life (as most Windows and MacOS users have done), changing old habits can be difficult. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "I was never a "big thinker". One of my philosophies in Linux has always been to not worry about the future too much, but make sure that we make the best of what we have now - together with keeping our options open for the future and not digging us into a hole." -- Linus Torvalds
