Majordomo Shock Trooper Member # 18	written Thursday, October 23 2003 09:00 Profile Homepage #0 Ahhh... Don't you just loving having friends/relatives who are developers? In this case, it's my dad I pinched his Panther install CDs today and went about installing it on my iBook... After backing-up all my files over wifi to my PC (dad said installing it over Jag is shonky), I formated my poor 40GB hd and set about installing it. First thing - WOW! The new user switching is so cool I made myself another account just so I could mess around with it. It looks like something off a corny old movie, one of those utterly useless graphical elements that widen your eyes and talk like Neo ("whoa"). It's like the Genie thing on steriods. Everything looks brushed metally now, like Safari and iTunes and all that. Well, it's not brushed metal, but it's close. Matte metal maybe? Oh, Finder is all brushed up too, and it's got an iTunesy like bar down the side. Weird huh? The menus look different, but I don't know what it is about them... Just can't put my finger on it. The F9 thing - Exposé - is pretty trippy too, but I haven't really used it yet. I have to click "fn" to get to the function keys on my tiny iBook keyboard, so it's not as handy. Application switching has the MUCH NEEDED change. You can find that one out for yourselves Anyway, thumbs up. Oh yeah, performance wise it's WAY faster than my 10.2.8 system I had before, but I guess this one's clean, so I'll get back to you once I've installed everything and gunked it up. Yay for Macs, Md.

Give me a break. Most likely your school is very behind the times. Md. Edit: Thank you MSW, I also had bugger all idea. Oh, and a "Mac-related topic with exactly one Mac-related post in it" can be off topic. It's in a forum whose topic is not Macs. Dammit, this keyboard has no "kill a person" key.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, October 23 2003 11:11 Profile Homepage #5 MSW, Panther is the newest version of Mac OS X. It's analogous to a new version of Windows. —Alorael, who's still stuck in the era of OS 9. Maybe one day he'll have a computer with enough disk space for a new operating system and new programs to make the upgrade valuable. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Majordomo Shock Trooper Member # 18	written Friday, October 24 2003 02:39 Profile Homepage #10 TLF: Apple have always given their OS versions trippy names. It's just only recently they've become popular. For example, the initial release of OS7 was called Blue by the dev team (who had their own codename - the Blue Meanies). Jaguar was also the name given to the entire PPC RISC project - a rare peice of info. There's a giant list of them here if anyone's interested. Also TLF, explain your problems with 10.2.8 in a clear fashion and I'll try to help. Md. Posts: 304 \| Registered: Monday, October 1 2001 07:00

Majordomo Shock Trooper Member # 18	written Friday, October 24 2003 06:50 Profile Homepage #12 Really REALLY good reason to upgrade to Panther if you're a multi-OS user: Samba 3. With the inclusion of the latest version of Samba, Windows file sharing compatability is now perfect. You know how in the past you had to o to "Connect To Server...", then select your server out of a list, then choose a share to mount? Gone are the days of that! Now it's fully incorporated into the Finder. Nice and easy. Hopefully someone will release a program like ShareScan for Mac now. Md. Posts: 304 \| Registered: Monday, October 1 2001 07:00

Besides, I don't want to get banned because of a prick who dislikes me for disliking Macs (and doing so because they tend not to work). So let me use swedish or finnish when insulting people and we're fine. I haven't seen people whining when french is used, have you? NO YOU HAVE NOT. BECAUSE FRENCH IS WIDELY ACCEPTED. Why not finnish then? Because there are also so many finns around here? Meh, go get a clue. Also, Lemmings, your demand was damn wrong. Next time when you want to get yelled at for using bad-crappy-foreigner-finnish, please.. Don't. And you've got something to whine about my crappy english? Eff off, and return when you've gotten a life.
