panther
mac os x 10.3.1 is great. if it works. otherwise it sucks. i have a new 15" powerbook g4. it likes panther a lot. i also have an old blue and white g3. it likes panther a lot too. except for one small detail. it won't boot by itself. it won't even try. it's like it can't even see the panther disks. not even the installation disks. except if you boot on the jaguar installation cd and restart from there. apparently that cd does some little piece of magic that let's panther boot. once. i usually leave my computer on a long time. but i'm not willing to leave it on
all of the time. nor am i willing to do the cd booting dance every morning. so my poor old desktop machine will have to remain in the stone ages for a while longer.
