Computers: June 2003 Archives

Apple plans to put some really cool features into the new OS release, features that I'm sure came directly from user requests. And for my money there's one desktop real-estate function that will convert us to Panther - 10.3 in droves. That's Exposé - a one-button app that quickly tiles open windows and reveals files on your desktop:

Exposé: Admit it, Mac OS X has you spoiled. You?ve become so used to its reliability that you don?t hesitate to have a gang of applications running at the same time. iTunes, Mail, Safari, Photoshop, Word, Preview, FileMaker, Address Book, iChat ? they?ve all become an integral part of your daily tool set, and you count on each and every one. So wouldn?t it be great if all you had to do was hit one hot key to snap all of that window chaos into order? check it out.

If that doesn't sell you alone, there are a slew of other features that will for sure: the new finder is a much better interface; the account management has been streamlined; a new font book tool has been added; and a new fax application has been added. And that just names a few of the add-ons that Apple has keyed us on to - bring it on! I can't wait! Exposé will save me so much time, I'll upgrade just for that.
