;);););)
You no have mac, you not know!! (it's 10.3 OSX, but if you dont use a mac it wont mean a toss to you) |
*carries on walking by*
|
is it anything like making love to a beautiful woman swiss tony?
|
damm right you hobo...
|
big issue?
|
isnt that what the slug said to the snail?
|
Yep just got the shipping notice of Apple . . . how did you get it so early ! I pre-ordered weeks ago sniff.
Does it feel faster, does it, well ? rich |
Anyone know how long it will be before Panther is available as the standard O/S software on new eMacs?
I fancy a new Mac, but don't want to fork out an extra ton or so just to keep up to date!! mb |

well first impressions were a tad disappointing as it seemed no different, until i started using it properly and boy is it fast!!!! Only had it running for an hour so far and it flies. Everthing openms that much quicker, the fast user switching is awesome and it seems much much better.But early days and we shall see. Will post some more details later for you lot who have to wait till Friday |
pls keep updates as I need to know whether its worth the cost. I wish I could justify it just from those luvverly 3D user transistions but I can't. :(

see this thread http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...hreadID=261026 What mac are you running this on? |
G4 450 ye olde mac upon high. :)
Apparently though Panther is built to be better on older machines. Hope so as current version (jag) is a little sluggish, and font management is erm, well, crap. |
I have an Old G3 (green one) will it run on that?
|
Angry-yes it will work on your G4.Not quite sure whether you will get the fast user switching with the cube spin, as it depends on your graphics card and its implementation of the quartz engine.
But should be better. BTW it has font book which is font management but do not be tricked into thinking its suitcase or atm.Its basic. Davie-i have installed it on our G3 (B&W) and it works fine, not all the benefits of a faster mac but its on and working. |
I've just looked into that font book, and it looks enough to get me by. I'm just fed up of having to put all my fonts in one file so that I can preview them in whichever application. I would be much easier to have just the core ones open with the application and still be able to preview the others through font book. :D SOLD. I can now see how it can help practically :D Cheers Tony!
|
angry.have you ordered yours yet.If not give me a buzz and i can sort you out with a copy.
P.S Font book only lets you preview one font at a time, but by the sounds of it, that will be enough for you Tony |
just got it today - how :cool: is it?, makes XP look really dated :D i've even created new login users just so i can rotate my screen :rolleyes::D
