Just installed Mac OS 10.3 Panther on my Apple iMac G4 17 Widescreen
All I can say is WOW!
Mac OS 10.3 Panther is SOOOO much faster!
From the time the screen turns on(cold boot, reboot) , it takes avg. 20 seconds to start the operating system up and get to the desktop. (desktop when all icons show up, dock, and HD stops 'clicking)
Its VERY stable! It opens all Apps (word, excel, powerpoint, iTunes, iMovie, iDVD, Safari(browser), etc...) much faster too! It feels as fast as Mac OS 9 or even faster! lol
So, for all of those we have Macs at home, upgrade to Mac OS 10.3 Panther! Its worth it!!! lol
