Since you mentioned my fracturing the Mac acronym, what do UAC and NTFS stand for?

User Access Control (permission handling), and New Technology File System, disk file system introduced with WinNT around 1993-94.

With that, I must depart -- gotta get some sleep (East Coast, up at 6AM).

Thanks for a great chat!

UAC = User Access Control - the evil “Cancel Or Allow” that Vista keeps popping up.

NTFS = NT File System - a disk format introduced in Windows NT and is native in NT, 2000, XP and Vista; so named to separate it from the earlier DOS-sourced FAT16 and FAT32 formats.
