sorry - send button error:

anyways all these cards are viewed on the standard PPC2002 using File 
Explorer with "show hidden files" selected.  Also vanilla 98SE and XP Home does not 
display these files on FAT16 formatted cards or FAT32 drives.  Surely a PC 
would show ._xyx files on Windows.

Also, I have never heard of other cross-platform users (Macwindows.com) 
having to deal with every single file having a ghost duplicate file on their MS-DOS 
(FAT 32) drive.  Nor from Linux users.  Nor ever on CD's burned on a Mac for 
ISO9660 or Toast's Dual format.  Desktop DB files, yes.  .DStore, yes.  
Multiple ghost duplicates, never.  Only right here on this forum.

Sooo, either I'm out of my mind or there is faulty thinking and conclusions 
that these files are normal, to be accepted as some part of cross-platform 
computing, and will have to be individually erased.

It certainly seems to me that my news is good news, unless overly complicated 
somehow ranks higher here.
