More Mac stuff ...

I'm really enjoying Panther, (OS-X 10.3) not so much for the big features, but for a great many little improvements that make my life easier. Many things that took 3 clicks now take 1 or 2. Somebody seems to have scrutinized every detail and given a lot of them some tweaking and polishing. Which is rare, usually with software the relentless drive for new features means polishing is a low priority...

I liked this article in Business Week, the author notes the same things that impressed me. And this was interesting:

...And Apple thoughtfully included a new anti-spam feature in Apple Mail that strips out a piece of code many junk mailings contain to notify the sender that the message arrived and that the address belongs to a live e-mail account....

I didn't know about that problem. Is this common knowledge? Am I clueless? Anyway, I'm glad it's being stopped...
