It came in a little envelope, no cage, no box, no leash... just a little, brown, bubbled envelope from Apple. Inside, four disks, a cute brochure, some legal magic spells in various languages of this our planet, some special advice to those who think they know how to bring up a kitten...
A black, shiny kitten... divided into three parts, reunited in the process of "installation"... I renamed my HardDrive "The Cage" until I had the little Panther kitten under control... and now it has me under control... Windows are flying all over the place. Expose is taking over my world. Things just went wild inside of my PowerBook, wild, my friends... The time is now being spoken to me, there are sounds in the mail application, tiny colorful bubbles with names are attached to things all over the place... wooow...
This is truly fantastic. A system should be simple enough to just be workable in seconds (panther appears to be just that,) it should be smart enough to get out of the way when not asked to perform any stunts (we are working on this, but boy, it is a fun exercise,) and it should be powerful enough so that it makes me believe that there is intelligent life out there somewhere in California... (and boy, it surely knows how to show that...)
So, am I happy with the new Panther in my Harddrive?... Yeah...
Do I totally get it?... Not yet.
Do I love the fact that I do not quite get it yet?... Absolutely...

As long as this animal does not grab me by the nec and carry me off stage, just because I made some silly mistake during installation... we will most likely be very happy...
How do I tell Expose to take it a little more easy on me here?...
