Apple, Panther and Paying Again for an OS Upgrade Given my propensity for that style of writing commonly known as "The Rant", you might be expecting me to trash Apple for charging all of us again for an OS upgrade. Actually I had my keyboard poised to write just that rant but I stopped.  I thought "Before making an ass out of yourself, make sure.  Do your research."  So I jaunted off to the official Panther web site and took a look. And I actually read pretty much all of it. You know what?  I'm still honked at paying again for this so quickly but I actually think its a fair deal.  Apple has done a good job on Panther and if they want to charge, so be it.  I'm not sure if I'll actually upgrade since my Mac usage is more on the order of "Does X website work correctly under OSX?" than day to day desktop usage.  My guess is just the improved Mail client alone is almost worth the full cost.  I honestly think they've done a damn good job.  Thanks Apple.  10:15:09 PM  Google It!  comment []
