Especially not taking cash is shady. OK I know a lot of doctors don't take cash. But for a retailer to refuse cash?It wasn't a retailer, it was folks standing outside of the supermarket soliciting for UN refugee relief.

Yeha, that is retail charity at best. Or sub-retail. I would never give a credit card to some guy hanging out in front of a store or on a sidewalk.

Jessica is right to be cautious of very large files, but otherwise, Macs can read PC external drives. They are typically read-only so you probably can't write on it (or so I have found).

Looks like it might be a limitation of FAT on the PC, rather than NTFS. FAT32 took care of this on the PC side, but Windows 7 and above prefer NTFS.
It looks like a case by case issue, as sme peole have no problem with OSX Mavericks, others still do.
There are, however ways around it.
If you don't have files over 4 GB, it's moot, of course.

Can you just do a search-and-replace on the entities, (i.e. s/¢/¢/g) instead of adding the ENTITY declaration?

Or if you add your ENTITY declaration, then round-trip the document through an XML processor, do the entities get replaced automatically?

That's a good idea. But I just talked to my boss and he wants to go in a different direction. (Only a few files have that entity problem so we're gonna just have an exception for that issue.)
