Not Yet Panthered
Anyone that knows me and my family and our half-dozen Macs and our electric bill is probably wondering …
“not a peep about Mac OS 10.3 (Panther) yet?”
Well here’s a little impressionism from Apple SoHo on release night:

I was there, and did buy Panther. I enjoyed the in-store presentation. Hey man, I try to get to some of the important turning points in geek history! I can’t wait to try Expose, and the new Finder, and the switch users function. You can never navigate too quickly.
I did attempt to install it to an external firewire drive off my 17″ PowerBook, but it kept freezing (3 times, 3 different ways). Since I am feeling a little vulnerable with just one Mac at the moment, and am across the country from my others, I don’t think I want to mess with the internal drive of my laptop. I need it to demo! I am also wondering if the .5 gb extra memory that came with my machine from Smalldog.com could be a factor (their brand) … I am thinking I will wait till I get back to California. Maybe 10.3.1 will be out by then.
