   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.
