Panther

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I went looking today for information on upgrading Angela to Panther and this little tidbit, at the top of the page, caught my eye:

Mac OS X has evolved. The fourth major release in just three years, Panther offers breakthroughs in innovation, ease of use and reliability that wonÂ?t be seen in other operating systems for years, if ever.

4 major releases in 3 years? That’s 4 upgrades over the span of 3 years in order to keep current with the OS, the latest one costing $129 on top of what you’ve already paid to be current up to this point. Can you imagine the shrill cries of “greedy #$% with their forced upgrades” that would emanate from every corner of the online world if another well-known operating system needed to be upgraded 4 times in 3 years in order to have the latest technology?

    By the way, like I said before, I wasn’t going to say anything about the controversy about Autolink until I had actually seen it working myself. I have now, and while I’m not in love with it, I just can’t seem to get all that worked up about it. Here’s why: – It only changes…

    I’m talking about the latest version of Acrobat Reader, 7.0. As others have already noted, it is quite an improvement over the speed of 6.0. I just installed it this evening and early impression is that it’s quite a bit quicker. Do be careful to uncheck the addon options if you download from Adobe’s site,…

    I went by the office where they moved the furniture around on Friday, and discovered that the PC is on the opposite wall from the Ethernet jack, and the Cat-5 cable is running across the middle of the office, about a foot off the floor. You have to step over it to get into the…
