Hi,
As both a long time Mac and PC user If had to deal with moving fils
back and forth between the two platforms. Ever since Mac OS 7.5.x the
Mac platform could read and write to media (i.e. floppy disks, USB
flash memory, etc) that was formatted to the MS FAT 16 or FAT 32
standard. As for USB flash memory devices these come out of the box
formatted as MS FAT 16. So they will work on both platforms with out
the need to reformat them. For true cross platform compatibility, you
can install a program called MacDrive on the PC. This will give the PC
(i.e. MS Windows) the ability to read/write to all media types that
have been formatted using the Macintosh HFS format. When using
MacDrive, a MAC formatted disk will have a small red apple as part of
it's icon to let you know that it is a MAC formatted media. If you are
sending any kind of word or text file to some one, and you don't know
what word processor or text editor they are using, first save the
document in the RFT (i.e. using the .rft file extension) format. This
is a 'universal' file format for text files that just about every word
processor or text editor will be able to display and edit.
Have a great day
