> Hi all, I want to know more about panther,Ive looked at the ad's andmost of the new features I dont need,my question is does it work any better? thanks in advance
On my Pismo, it is much faster than Jaguar.
Expose works nice and I'm using it more and more.
Increased security because you can now set the computer to always ask for your password when the computer awakes, even if the screen saver didn't kick in.
I much prefer the appearance of the window title bars and menu items in Panther as opposed to Jaguar. The title bars are no longer transparent (or if they are, it's almost unnoticeable), so it's not longer a mess if you have multiple inactive windows on the top of each other.
Panther includes minimum faxing functionalities. For those of us like me that needs occasional fax capacity, that's pretty good, I can now yank faxSTF out of my disk!
The Finder labels are back.
The Finder window sidebar is more and more useful. Specially in open and save dialogs.
That's just a few things that came up off the top of my head. I'm sure that others can chime with other things too. But for me, it was the speed increase that did sell it to me!

I concur with all the above. I'm typing this in my office mac, still running Jaguar, and already miss Expos�. Other nice new things in Panther: you can create zip archives easily and very very fast (just control-click on any finder selection and select create archive from the contextual menu; the all new Preview is great! and there is more.
