Chris did point this out in the first reply.

that's not because of microsoft that i'm using spaces.

for very long I have never used spaces, i just recently chose to use
blanks, because it looks good and unix filenames accepts the use of it.

Yes, it does. But it causes no end of trouble when you try to access them
through any shell.

Spaces in filenames are not hard to deal with in the shell, but
they are an annoyance.

They didn't cause me any problem in the last ten years.

Use underscores instead of blanks.

That's best.

IMHO that looks very ugly.
