if they follow the same way they did the 10.2 upgrade, then yours will be free if you bought it within 30 days of the release, or $20 if you bought it within 90 days ... but no one will know until apple says anything

Oh no, I am in trouble now. Do I want panther or Indiana Jones Trilogy. Maybe if she is not looking I can get them both. Or buy the upgrade for her and the movies for me.

Know what you're talking about with the Indiana Jones Box Set. I've been waiting for this for a long time.

I know this is off topic, but I am with you. I like the last movie the best with Sean Connery as his father.

I hope that event doesn't involve an updated iBook. I need at least a few more months to prepare for that.

Apple to support DVD+RW format in Panther

Apple to support DVD+RW format in Panther
October 13, 2003 - 18:17 EDT Apple, a longtime supporter of the DVD-R format, said today that it is adding support for DVD+R and DVD+RW into Panther, the new version of Mac OS X that ships next week. "Apple is only adding support for backing up data and has not yet added support for the format into its media applications, such as iDVD and iTunes," reports CNET News.com. "Nonetheless, the move is a strategic shift for Apple, which until now has supported only the -R standard, contending it was used by more DVD players. The company has shipped some machines with Sony-made drives that can write to both the +R and -R standards, but in those cases it turned off the +R capabilities."

My Comments: This is good news!
