Like most people who use Apple Mail, I had high hopes that its improved Junk Mail filter, a much-touted benefit of upgrading to Panther, would live up to Apple's hype

When Apple released Mac OS X 10.3 Panther last October, many people (though by no means all) had serious difficulties with their FireWire hard drives. Affected users found that, after restarting their computers under Panther with the drives connected, the drives become completely inaccessible - unable to mount on any operating system, and so badly damaged that even disk recovery applications could not retrieve their data. Not long after the problem surfaced, Apple acknowledged an issue affecting FireWire 800 hard drives that use the Oxford 922 bridge chipset with firmware version 1.02 or earlier

When Apple first announced Bluetooth support in Mac OS X, I thought it sounded like an interesting and useful technology, but one I probably wouldn't experience anytime soon, since I couldn't justify the cost of replacing my existing peripherals, PDA, or cell phone with Bluetooth-enabled models
