> you all are real people, not just Jaguar ads in magazines or at > apple.com > > what are your top 10 reasons for why i should go from 10.5 to jag. 1. Speed -- significantly faster and "snappier" 2. Mail -- spam filter alone is worth it; all the integration with Address Book and iChat is tres cool 3. Address Book - FINALLY one place to enter this data and be DONE with it!! 4. iTunes 3 - just overall much better than before, works with more burners, etc 5. Spring loaded folders - a welcome return for the OS 9 feature 6. (on certain machines) Quartz Extreme!!! - oh what a difference this makes if you have a 32MB Radeon on Nvidia video card! 7. VASTLY VASTLY VASTLY improved networking, particularly with Windows machines. It's just amazing 8. MUCH improved Classic support, including for scanners and printers. Classic MUCH faster. 9. iSync and iCal - iCal is amazing for a 1.0 product. iSync is still in beta but holds fantastic promise. 10. Sherlock 3 -- absolutely jaw-dropping unless you're used to Watson. What an improvement! 11. LOTS and LOTS of tiny little subtle changes in Aqua and the Finder that really make the whole experience MUCH better. 12. MUCH better organised system preferences, and more of them. Again, adds up to a better experience. 13. More stuff coming out requiring 10.2 at a minimum. Oh that's enough for now. Believe me, I could go on and on ... in short, it's one of the few times I have ever WANTED to pay full price for an upgrade. It's absolutely worth every penny because it's not just a "bug fix" or "change what's not working" release, it's a major release chock-full of new features, almost all of which I was able to use out-of-the-box and which worked as advertised. _Chas_ Come to ...
