Quote:What I want to know is what would be the point of "extending my virtual memory" with a memory card. Those things don't have the fastest access times, and if you are so low on HD space that you can't afford a few extra megs in that virtual memory file, you have bigger problems.
I know, it's definitely kind of weird... I don't really understand the point either.
Quote:I know OS X creates those "invisible" files because I see them every time I copy thing from my flash drive over to Windows. I say "invisible" because I never see the files in OS X but they are sometimes visible in Windows depending on the Show Hidden Files setting. I'm not even sure what all the invisible files are used for, but I do know an invisible file is created for every file you create. I imagine it has something to do with recovering data, but I can't be sure.
What, Apple doesn't allow you to see hidden files? Typical...
