No, no, no!!
It is ADOBE that agrees with you.
As I recently discovered the hard way, you can choose to format
Apple's HFS+ filesystems as case sensitive. But when you do so Adobe
Creative Suite will no longer work. I believe this is because they
are "lazy", as Mr Ameeti would say, and don't maintain correct
capitalisation between their applications and their filenames. Of
course, now you've got me started, I could remark that all Americans
are lazy, misspelling "capitalisation" with a "z" and missing the "u"
for "colour", but I'll refrain. :P
Stroller.
