    in Apple somehow "adjusting" to SCO case? Comment by andrewm August 2003
  • I have a slight hunch that 10.2.7 may not fix many-if any--major bugs, much like 9.2.2 didn't change a whole lot from 9.2.1, save for performance issues. After all, we're supposed to want to pay for an upgrade to Panther...

  • Quote: Originally posted by jwill Well, putting it back on track, does iCal in Panther have more than the six colors it has in Jaguar? It would appear as though the answer is negative. Nor does iCal now use 'real' checkboxes for its displa…

  • I, being Jewish, have no fear of censure over injecting myself into this debate. I think that few could argue that the Palestinians, just as the Isrælis, are Semitic. This debate is thus a logomachal Catch-22, for although the law in question …

  • I beg to differ with the common opinion here. After a relatively-recent Jaguar re-installation I decided to format my main drive as UFS. I rather enjoyed the case-sensitivity (although it caused a couple of headaches in iTunes when backing up mult…
