[Hidden-tech] PC to Mac file porting help wanted

[Lynne Rudié]

To my knowledge you will lose your original creation dates when you  
import to a mac. Maybe somebody geekier than me (than I?) would know  
how to do it but my experience is that the mac will date a new file to  
the time when it is imported because, according to the mac, it didn't  
exist before that time. One suggestion for a work around is to create  
folders on the mac with the creation dates you want to save and import  
the files into those folders. When I move files from one mac drive to  
another, if the dates are important to me I sometimes alter the file  
name to include the relevant dates.  So far that's the best I've been  
able to do.
