Windows vs. 'nix

You know, one feature of Windows is that its filesystem is case insensitive. This means that you don't have to worry about mistyping URLs. I sure as hell am not going to use it, though, but if I set up a webserver with UNIX, I would definately serve it from a Samba share, to get the case insensitivity.

Case insensitivity is good, I decided, when I tried to teach my 12yo sister how to program, and I made the mistake of picking Python.
