Fellow Mac Addicts... Should I break down and get Panther?
Is it really that much better, or what?

1. I would.

Actually, I did.

Expose is worth the price alone. It's one of those features that I can't imagine being without.


on edit: To clarify. It really depends on the machine you're running it on. Quartz Extreme screams, but needs a lot of processing power.

3. What do you use your computer for?
If you play games, it's a necessity.

6. YES!!!!
It is that much better. Here are some of the features that won me over, and worked even better than described -

Fast User Switching
Secure Delete
Built in Encryption
Expose (man does that rock my socks)
Finder improvements (no more side scrolling to find my files)
iChat AV included
it's faster
Classic loads in a third of the time when I need it
all the aps running on it are faster

Go buy Panther... Go buy it RIGHT NOW!!!

7. Slightly unrelated question
Ever since I bought Jaguar, I find that I can't use Sherlock without an internet connection. Whenever I want to find a file, Sherlock tries to dial up and when it can't it shuts down. How can I get around this?

8. The Find File method has been removed from Sherlock!
As of Jaguar. Sherlock is now exclusively for web searching.

bezdomny, go to the menu bar and choose File > Find. Or use the keyboard and hit command F (the command key is generally left of the space bar). Either method will bring up the Find program.
