[X4U] Looking back at Panther and forward to Tiger

[Kunga]

Well I would say this is NEVER going to hold up to the toothbrush or 
razor analogy. Too many hardware and software changes from within and 
without, we'll always need new a OS rev to take advantage of those. 
Spotlight is one technology we are all going to wonder how we ever 
lived without. I think Automator will be too for those of us who could 
never figure out how to use Applescript. I have always needed a 
graphical interface to figure out stuff.

I think the human imagination is going to always invent better ways of 
computing over time. And I, like Jim, trust Apple to always offer 
something new that is genuinely useful not just glitzy.
