More FUD??? Not withstanding the limitations imposed by Microsoft on their own file system utilities -- FAT32 has a ~4GiB file size limit, not 2GB.
Please qualify this statement, Greg. I don't think its entirely accurate. I hate to "nit-pick" but this is the kind of misinformation that one person reads, accepts as gospel, passes it along to family and friends who, in turn, pass it along to their family and friends until it circles the globe a couple of times and ends up back here as a question. And the first one to pick it up and pass it along can have his life ruined, too:
