Trailing slash
Here’s one way fairly reliable way to tell the writing of a Windows user from a Mac user: Windows users tend to omit trailing slashes from URLs.
It’s not 100% reliable, but I’ve noticed it’s pretty reliable.
A Windows user will type: http://www.example.com
A Mac user will type: http://www.example.com/
Same with sub-folders...
Windows user: http://www.example.com/some/sub/folder
Macintosh user: http://www.example.com/some/sub/folder/
