Choosing the right file system for your computer can have a large impact on how well your computer works. I won’t claim I know everything about file systems, but I will share what I know, which should be enough to give you a basic idea of how these things work.

According to Wikipedia, a file system is “a method for storing and organizing computer files and the data they contain to make it easy to find and access them.” Most people don’t think too much about the file system, if they think about it at all. > more <

It continues to amaze me that people aren’t willing to try new things. Whether it’s food, books, movies, or software, people stick with the tried and true. My wife’s friend refuses to try any ethnic food besides Mexican and Chinese; we’ve offered to take her to Greek, Thai, Indian, Japanese, etc. but she’s afraid she won’t like it so she doesn’t want to go.

However, the biggest gripe I have is when it comes to computers. I understand that people are “brought up” using Windows (home, work, school, et al.) so they are comfortable with it. It just kills me when people bitch about Macs, saying that they suck yet they’ve never used one; if they have, it’s been for five minutes at an Apple store. > more <
