Thumbs up Panther Features

I have some new OS X features i'd like to tell you fine folks about.

1. The mounting part of Disk Copy is integrated into the Finder. You double click a disk image and up pops what you would normally see in Disk Copy, but it's part of the Finder.

2. pressing CMND-tab no longer brings up the dock to let you go through apps; it now brings up this:


3. The Scheduling feature is back in the Energy Saver Pref Pane.

If I find more I'll post them.

Everything is working so far

I just did an Upgrade from jaguar and all my applications are working so far. Even Norton AV 9 and personal Firewall 3. It takes some time to get used to expose but i think it's the best feature so far. the way it's implimented is very practical and easy to use. I'd just like to point out that it took me almost 2 hours for the upgrade on an emac 700 mhz.And im having some trouble with the fast switching option, I'm always getting the beach ball of death, But besides that i'm enjoyin' 10.3.

Holla

jason: I installed Panther on my external HD. Also everything seem to be working fin so far.

A cool thing about exposé is that it's not just a bunch of screen grabs lined up, it's the actual window shrunken. That means that you can see it doing stuff. Lets say you have a CD burning, or something rendering in the background and you want to do something else while it's doing that, you can just hit your exposé button and check in on it. It's really nice.

OOOOOH! I forgot to mention that you can add custom keystrokes to Panther. It's under the "Keyboard & Mouse" Pref Pane.

Cool, thanks for the updates. Do you see anything that would take advantage/use of a two-button mouse, should one come down the line?

well, Exposé can be activated by any button on the keyboard or mouse, so there's a use for a multi-button mouse.
