panther

Note to self: wait a month or two before switching to a new operating system.

Pro: Expose is pretty cool.
Con: the PPTP VPN client can no longer connect to the UBC wireless VPN and Apple tech article 107706 doesn't help.

the related story at the bottom...i kept reading it as apple blames oxenford for firewire data loss bug.

Well, I have been responsible for my fair share of data loss.

On the gripe front, doing a fresh install of Panther (i.e. not upgrading an existing installation) also breaks BitTorrent.

I vote for vpn.antiflux.org to be set up. I'm willing to help in whatever capacity I can =)

addendum to my last comment:
if you set up an antiflux vpn, you can connect to it over the ubc wireless networking w/o having to have a ubc wireless account. how handy is that?
