Default two files of the same name in the same directory

Watching my older brother work, connected by TeamViewer, I could see
that he's made a lot of progress.

His typing is pretty fast, considering he never was taught touch typing
and didn't have to type anything until he was 65 or 70 or more. He's 79
now.

And he uses the End key, and Gmail, etc.

But yesterday he was applying for spot as an espert witness, for a
trial, and they had a version of his resume with an incorrect phone
number.


I dl'd Everything and found his resume, and it showed two files of the
same name in the same directory. But with different dates. Both of
them his resume.

Now how can that be? I looked for tiny dots that might change the
name, but I couldn't find one. Running win10 on a laptop fwiw.



I know he didn't want to wait 30 minutes or more while i investigated,
so I renamed the older one -old, which went smoothly, so it wasn't a
phontom file, because otherwise I wouldn't know which one I was going to
send to the expert witness "broker", and used the webform to
include/submit the newer one, whose date in February was the right date,
he said.
