And I can testify, after using a Panther pre-release for a little while, that Panther will reduce the speed gap even more! I know it may sounds suspicious, but I'm positively, definitely sure that, on my Pismo 400, the menu are snappier and the redraws are faster. Resizing windows in the Finder is still a drag on the system, though, but for anything else, it is definitely faster. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fortrash /for'trash/ n.: Hackerism for the FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslator) language, referring to its primitive design, gross and irregular syntax, limited control constructs, and slippery, exception-filled semantics. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
