If that isn't untrustworthy with regards to stability and security, I have no idea what is. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Exactly. And why that may be fine for general-purpose apps (hacking the Dock to look weirder than by default, as in "ClearDock", won't do any real big harm other than possibly crash it), I don't think it's fine for something security-related at all. According to John Gruber, this PA app *is* an APE bundle. That's just, uh, not a good idea.
Next thing you know, they're going to distribute it as a kernel extension (hello Aladdin!). |

NO. You still have to use third party fixes, and in keeping with the theme here, since I've read more about PA, I've uninstalled it and started using this instead. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

I'll have fun convincing my boss to let me install this one on our workstations... he's one of those people who is leary of every update for every system and application there is. Gets real paranoid about viruses as well. Hears one thing from a semi-informed client or friend and suddenly the internet is a virus-ridden hell just waiting to devour his copy of OS X.

I simply cannot believe how good this OS 10.3 Panther thing is. I mean, sheesh! I can get so much done on this 12" PowerBook G4 it just blows my mind. Of course it helps that I'm maxed out on RAM at 1.25GB. And it doesn't use too much storage on my 100GB hard drive, although I am concerned that 64MB of VRAM may not be enough for a super smooth performance. And finally, SAMBA 3 is gonna solve a bunch of my Windows networking issues. This is the absolute bomb.
And to think it was only $129! I doubt if OS X can ever get cheaper than that! - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful.

Rumor has it 10.4 "Tiger" will have a system-wide search, maybe a bit like the experimental WinFS stuff on the Windows side?

I can never tell if Ken is day-drinking or just shit-posting. Perhaps both.
