Hi all,

I have a PC (XP) and a MAC (OSX 10.3.9).

I noticed that when I move files from the PC to the MAC that the naming convention changes! It makes some files ALL CAPS… WTF!

This happens when I use a Thumbdrive. This sooo anoying… I think it is because of the FAT32 format that thumbdrives use. Dont know for sure.

But I do notice that if you burn the files to a CD or DVD then it is ok.

anybody else have this issue? better yet… have a better solution?
