Used the employee discount the other day and preordered Panther (Mac OS X 10.3 for those of you not in the know). Got an e-mail after lunch that I could come in and pick it up whenever. Briefly thought about taunting the people waiting until 8 pm at the Apple store, but I had better things to do.
After backing up mail, photos, and documents to my old external FireWire CD-R and fixing permissions, I took the big step from 10.1.5 to 10.3. A little slow, took under an hour, but no problems so far. All sorts of new things to learn now.
