APPLE MAC OSX PANTHER
Apples latest version of their UNIX based operating system OS 10.3 named Panther has now been released. Some of you may already be using earlier versions of this OSX, however many of you will have been holding on to OS9.2 until the applications you use become OS 10 native. Well with the release of Macromedia Studio MX 2004, the Adobe Creative Suite and QuarkXPress 6 you should upgrade to Mac OSX Panther now to take advantage of the new design features and enhanced performance that these applications bring.
