Asking questions of someone who isn't running it would
be pointless.
Are you really this dense? I may have been the first person in
history to over estimate the intelligence of Mac users.
As a matter of fact, it never crossed my mind that some would
be more interested in discussing what laws I may or may not have broken
in posting my comments rather than discussing the topic at hand.
About fifteen years. I don't see the relevance.

Against my better judgement, I am wasting more time discussing
this. I'm becoming a masochist.

Ah Bjorn, don't tell us that you were going to post an article on one

expected that no-one would comment on the fact that you have it while
(presumably) most of the rest of us does not.

Had I anticipated these kinds of responses, I would have posted
to comp.sys.mac.legal-beagles.
For the record, I was given the beta by a representative of Apple
and I didn't sign an NDA nor was I instructed not to discuss it although I >was asked not to distribute it (apologies to those that have sent me mail >asking for copies). I have so far found six problems (two major ones) and >chasing down bugs is why Apple distributed this beta.
How long have you been around on Usenet?
About fifteen years. I don't see the relevance.
And besides, maybe it might be that there are lots of other people
running it already on their Macs, so why the assumption that we want
to ask *you* questions about it?
My post was not made for the benefit of those who are already
running Panther. It was for those who aren't and wish to know more about
it. They might be interested in asking me questions because I indicated
I was running it. Asking questions of someone who isn't running it would
be pointless.

Note: If anyone is running Panther on a dual G4 Power Mac (gigabit),
please send me email. There are some problems I've experienced
and I'm curious if you are experiencing them too.

Yes, my name is Bjorn and no, I don't work at Ikea.
I for one am grateful to Bjorn for posting his interesting observations
on Panther.
But we know Panther is coming, and
it's a certainty that Microsoft for one has a copy already, so what harm
can come from letting the rest of us know about his impressions?

Because it's still a developer preview. Some things will change between
now and the final release. A guy with a preview copy says, "Panther is
a crummy OS because they broke foo, bar is ugly, and they still haven't
put baz in like you had in 8.5."
Joe Sackodonuts reads this and says, "That friggin' Apple. What a
buncha bozos. No way I'm paying $129 for another public beta."
That's the harm. Same reason they didn't like developer seeds of Safari >being leaked to the general public.
