#OUTBANK MAC OS X SOFTWARE#
I've spent a great deal of my career working on standards-based software designs and similar. Software (engineering, practices and such) is a pretty young, and still partly a "wild west" engineering branch of sorts though I think in another 50 years, this type of discussion will be much less prevalent, but I could be entirely wrong -]

The same might be said of LOTS of stuff that's been engineered though, mechanical, electrical, and more. I think software can be great, elegant, and easy to use, and total crap, and all flavors in-between. Oddly enough, I was going to go back and get my EE, but never quite made it, I stuck with Math/CompSci and a (mostly electrical) Physics minor. I'm curious to see what happens, when I plug it in, probably tomorrow -] Right now, my test-music folder (another thread, about 3500 tracks) is on the drive, along with my expanded map updates (and what appears to be an map-indexing folder, at the root). Oddly enough, after clicking "OK" to the question about being sure I was okay with formatting, AND moving that slider (that's an odd one, for a UI verification, not sure I've ever seen a slider used quite like that before -]), it did NOT reformat my drive. It's right on the 32GB boundary, almost to the byte, which would make it tough on a 32GB stick (even the folder metadata), or at least it is on my NTFS stick (different FS formats will result in slightly differing sizes, although not likely too much, given the number of files).
