Panther at large Nowadays everybody is all Panther of course after the eagerly awaited release of the beast. So why am I so quiet? Because I don't have it yet. Being the owner of a trusty Wallstreet, I am deprived of the joys of Panther, but there is hope. For one, OWC's Ryan Rempel is working on a new XPostFacto that will cover both Panther and the machines newly fallen from grace (models w/o built-in USB). Besides that, there will hopefully soon be a new 15' AlBook in the house and I will inherit the TiBook, which is, of course, Panther-ready. In this case the Wallstreet will assume server duties. Not to bad a position for a 5 year old, second-hand PB, I think. (0) comments Loads of work... In case anyone might wonder why the posts dried out... I'm kind of busy these days, maclocalization.com and maclocalization.org finally got their own homes after living in a subfolder of my other website. Feel free to check them out and spread the word. Both sites are still a work in progress, but nevertheless, one can get a pretty good idea what it is all about. (0) comments Thursday, October 23, 2003

Everyone's getting ready for Panther It is really nice to see how many software developers publish Panther-ready updates for their products. I can't recall the same happening in the weeks before Jaguar release. Or was it just that the Mac news outlets didn't pay a lot of attention to it then? Anyway, it makes a good impression :-) (0) comments Monday, October 20, 2003
