As long as the government knows, it's all good. :-)

Yep, and I've ranted about that before. Having extensions is bad enough. But then to HIDE them in order to try to be more like Apple which does (did) not have them to begin with. It all goes back to having separate TYPE and CREATOR attributes for every file. God I wish the rest of the world could figure that out and we could banish file extensions. And let's have peace on earth while we're at it.
Back in the day (early 1990's) I didn't have any problem with spaces or even quotes in pathnames on Mac. In MPW I did all kinds of scripts that worked fine with spaces and quotes in file names. I tested them to be sure. MPW had nice ways of dealing with this. But alas, it was so long ago, I don't remember the details.
Speaking of things Apple got right. We're only now getting back to a thing the Apple Lisa did. You press the power button, software powers it all off. Power it back on, and it comes back up the way you left it. It's just that Lisa was way too slow at this, but the idea was sound.
