Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Fwd: It all depends how you drive... [NFC]

[Auto World (autoworld]

Ken: basically speaking, a Mac file is made of two parts called a data fork, 
and a resource fork. Yes, they're a PITA when receiving Mac email on a PC. 
The data fork contains what we generally call a file on the PC, that is the 
text created by a word processor, the pixels building a picture, etc. When 
transferring data files between Macintosh and PC, the data fork is generally 
the only part of interest. 

The resource fork may contain the code of a Mac program, the commands of a font 
file, etc. Some Mac programs store a preview picture in the resource fork.

... one more example of the useless stuff in my head.

  Ken -

  Do you use a Mac? The reason I ask is that all of your picture attachments 
  come with two parts. One small .jpg which can't be opened (at least on a 
  PC), and one bigger .jpg which can.

  The only other time I see this is from a friend who is a graphic artist and 
  uses only Macs.

  Any of you PC geniuses want to explain why the Mac seems to generate 
  attachments like this with respect to pictures? Mostly just curious...

  Thanks!
