CopyPaste causes problems on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) -- Comment()
I ran into a strange problem on Panther, which VersionTracker solved: 'I spent an hour trying to figure out why the "c" on two machines with newly installed Panther did not work. On one machine it was more than an hour I lost. [...] Until CopyPaste 1.6 is updated for Panther compatibility don't use it. It is a wonderful application, just not with Panther (that is unless you never use the "c"). Uppercase "C" and all other keys seem okay.'

Running Panther -- Comment()
Now I have Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) installed on my iBook. Installation went without problems, easier than the 10.2 upgrade. Maybe I learned something, or the system is indeed easier to install. Best things: new Finder, Exposé, Mail, having several users logged in at the same time. (I'm posting to the weblog from a new account which I created just for this purpose.)
