Oh dear....I didn't want to get into this. However, the Mac filesystem
is uniquely limiting. In it's current instantiation, I am told, there is
a rather low hard limit on the number of files that you can have on a Mac
drive. Such that if you have an 8 GB drive and your average file size isn't
around several dozen MB, most of your drive will be wasted.
