I received a notice from Apple stating that the newest OS, Panther 10.3 will be available on 24 October - for $129. While I'm a little miffed that I've had this iBook for only slightly over a month and have upgraded OS X twice (to 10.2.8) and still won't be having the latest OS, I suppose it's just an instance of bad timing. I also don't like the idea of having to pay so much for a new, untested (by time) OS. Grumble, grumble... But, beyond what is advertized in the flier as advancements (new Finder, Expose, FileVault and several other listed features) and "enhanced Windoze compatability", it would be nice to know what additional features and advantages OS 10.3 might have. Anyone have additional insight into Panther? -- 73 de Fred Stevens K2FRD http://home.stny.rr.com/k2frd/K2FRD.htm
