Panther Follies
Thanks to Veronica’s cable modem, I’ve installed the last few oversized programs on my new mac. Today’s bunch: the MacOS 10.2.8 update (not Panther), the Java update, the iCal and iSync updates, the Apple X11 beta, and i-Installer (for TeX and Ghostscript 8). At the moment I’m downloading the NetNewsWire 1.0.6b1 beta because it fixes a problem I’ve seen on and off.
Panther (MacOS 10.3) has been announced for October 24th. It’s not clear whether recent Mac buyers like yours truly will get the upgrade cheap ($20) or at the usual price ($130). Rumors are flying at macrumors.com.
