Actually, I tried naming something with a : on someone's XP box yesterday
(totally unrelated to this), and it wouldn't let me. I didn't check, but
I can only imagine it was using NTFS (fairly new machine).
If only a dash for chosen as an epoch separator instead of a colon...
Oh, *that'll* make it more readable. ;-)
