stuff it doesn't work anymore. it opens an icon on the dock for about .01 seconds before quitting without having done anything.
anybody else getting this?

re: panther warning

I'm still on os9-- for the first time ever, I'm going to hire an "expert" to help me with the upgrade once he thinks it's safe

have you made the mistake of opening fontbook?
If you have, then I'm guessing you're running into similar circumstances as I:
the following apps won't run unless fontbook is open:
safari,
mail,
address book
iCal
also the system monitor.

update: stuff it works fine with panther. i just had an old version and had to upgrade.
but overall, it seems like panther looks and performs the same as jaguar, but less stuff works.
- blackspade0
so overall
reccomend to upgrade now or not?

my adnice would be to give it a couple months.

even with the fontbook crap, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I think expose, and the refined finder are worth it.I would however, lock fontbook in a deep hole and cover it up- then laugh at the lil squeals it makes...
- blackspade0
hahahah magicspoon
yea i really love the was expose works
- freshmeat0
update ur stuffit to 8.01..apparently 8 has problems
- ikbenvanrijn0
yeah fontbook is effin shit... apple bit the big one on that. didnt they realize the designer will try to plop more than 25 fonts in there?
the only problem i had with the alley cat™ was my safari crashing on launch & that was due to a full-screen plug-in i had installed. (kiosk). after deleting that safari plugin my shit ran smooth.
smb & winblows sharing works better.
oh.. and one other problem i had.. my PHP & MySQL was turned off by panter. it was an easy fix via the terminal editing my httpd.config file

upgrade.
I guess Im in the minority here .
but .
I run a 400 mhz Tibook
it's a dinasaur - c'mon laugh with me .. 400 mhz . .yeehaw.anyhow, Panther has been flawless from my end . no problems, in fact my machine runs at least 2X faster . I swear to god . .It's a dream . seriously .. so good, so many improvements . . so stoked.
so .

Yeah, I had problems the first day, just took an hour or so to iron everything out. That said, after you go expose, you will NEVER go back. Working on any other platform is PAINFUL after these two weeks.
