A Day Late

I finally got around to buying Panther this week. The upgrade went smooth as can be, although I did notice my Emacs for Aqua isn’t working anymore, I’ll have to look at that. I really haven’t noticed a whole lot of differences, but the stuff I have noticed is good. I love the Expose. Open window management was always something that bugged me about OS X. I usually have quite a few windows open and switching between them was cumbersome sometimes. The F9 key works nicely. I wonder if it’d be possible to create a hotkey on the status bar to activate expose instead?

One thing I wish Apple would implement is a virtual desktop switching tool. That’s one thing I love about my Red Hat machine, the virtual desktops. There’s an open source tool available at sourceforge, but it doesn’t seem to work with Panther properly. Anyway, I think it’d be a nice addition and I’m a little surprised Apple hasn’t already implemented it.

Anyway, so far I’m happy with the upgrade.
