Panther rocks. We've been using it since not long after it came out. I wouldn't go back for love nor money.

Okay, I don't know what most of these things mean, including the one that's just for me, but I'm very very pleased to hear that they're making so many new changes. Rock!

Annnnd, it's so fun to hear you promoting the Mac! Yay! *waving the little Mac flag*
