Mac OS X Panther

Posted: Nov 06, 2003 07:46:36, by Richard

This past weekend we got our copy of Mac OS X Panther (10.3) and let me say it is slick. Suzanne and I can now have our own desktop and setup. I find myself using Expose quite often and I have even made a corner by my screen activate it. Overall, Panther seems to be a little peppier than Jaguar (10.2.8).

I am still working out some sharing issues. I was able to share our iTunes library between Suzanne and I, but I haven't got the iPhotos library shared yet. This shouldn't be hard, but I haven't done it.

Add the Date to the Menu Bar

Posted: Nov 25, 2003 08:04:58, by Richard

This was a hint that I had been looking for. I found myself from time to time looking at the menu bar to see what the current date is. It wasn't there and I didn't see anything in the setup to turn it on. Someone figured it out and posted it here:

Great little trick if you were looking for that.

UNC's First Two Games

Posted: Nov 25, 2003 07:51:35, by Richard

UNC looked pretty good in their first two games with Roy Williams as the head coach. It is basically the same team as last year, but a healthy May in the middle. Should be an interesting year, but maybe not "national championship" caliber team. I guess we have to wait and see.
