Well, I took the plunge last night and all is well so far (fingers
crossed!) For other upgrader's peace of mind, the following may be of
help:
1) If you use a palm, do NOT do a clean install. Upgrade over panther.
THe palm desktop installer 4.1 or even 4.0 does NOT install under
panther. There are workarounds (eg placing the files manually in the
right folders) but this will be a pain. If Palm Desktop 4.1 is
installed prior to panther, then you upgrade, I find it works just
fine.
2) Older Microsoft keyboard or mouse drivers don't play nice with
Panther, but the latest ones do. Get them here:

default.aspx>
I use both a MicroShaft Office Keyboard and a Microshaft Intellimouse
optical with no problems (panther even recognises the extra buttons for
use with expose!)
I am amazed how useful expose is and how I've survived without it for
so long!

Hi all,
Just a quick question, has anyone installed the
Microsoft Mouse Drivers (I use Intellipoint) on
Panther? I am not game to install them on my work
computer without checking fist, I haven't used
OS10since its very first release and I remember all
kinds of nightmare compatibility problems. While I am
happy so far the drivers state for Mac OS10.1-10.2 and
I just don't want to risk it without knowing its fine
beforehand. Mainly because I don't have the CDs yet,
our IT company installed it for us because we ordered
it but they had run out of copies so we wont get our
actual CDs for a couple of days and I don't want to
risk a reformat yet.
Kind regards,
Kelly
