[geeks] back to MacOS X

[Shawn Wallbridge]

Well I haven't tried doing an MD5 checksum or anything, but the files for
one of our software packages are pretty sensitive and it didn't have any
problems.

I have done this 60+ times, with no problems.

It would be an interesting experiment (MD5 - convert - MD5). I may have to
try it some day.

At what cost?

I.e. if you copy a FAT filesystem to an NTFS filesystem, and then
convert the latter into an NTFS filesystem, is anything lost (or gained :-)?

I'd be completely stunned if the result were bit-for-bit identical!
