OS X

Panther is coming! Panther is coming! Hooray, we finally have a release date – October 24. That’s two weeks from tomorrow! I’ve been waiting for this for ages. I desperately need to repartition my hard drive and clear out some old crap but I’ve been waiting til my next major OS install to do it. Hmm, I wonder if any of the Apple stores in Sydney will be celebrating the release. I’m way too excited about this.

Eek… $230 AU though. Ouch.

    Yay! Though I’m gonna wait for a month or so on getting this upgrade, and let the masses be my guinea pigs — I’ve some concerns about Font Book in particular. But, Yay! OS X rocks!

  2. I’ll be your guinea pig! And yay, I just realized that I can probably have Ma Snook buy it for me and thus get the educational discount – save $100! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I usually get the education discount too. But I’m getting annoyed here. I paid for Jaguar because it was supposed to be so great and now we’re all supposed to pay again for Panther because it is so much greater? I think I will probably steal Panther. I love Apple, but sometimes you have to show them they can’t kick you around just because you are a loyal customer. Sometimes you have to do the same thing kind of thing with your mom.
