[G4] Panther: To upgrade or not...

[Mel Krewall]

I don't know how you use your Mac, but until I tried Expose' I wasn't 
all that excited about it myself. After using it, however, I conclude 
that it's a brilliant, 'why didn't someone think of this before' kind 
of thing. If you ever pile up applications of windows and have to hunt 
to find the one you want, you'll really like it.
