Migrating drives…any shortcuts? Tools?

[Matt Lyon]

I wanted to add: when I say that I like to “keep file names short,” I DON’T mean 8 characters short. I used to try to stick with 31 characters or less + 3 digit extension for ultra backwards compatibility. But these days, I really just want file names that fit neatly within a standard open/save OS X dialog box.

And by simple names, I mean: only use letters and numbers and also underscores instead of spaces (no symbols or punctuation).

Alf, I hope I’ve answered your question … I may be drifting off point here 🙂
