No offence or anything, but god does it matter! You people have this fetish over the build numbers, and its like who gives a crap? Don't you have lives?

"7B85 is GM" "No its not man"

I for one don't give a crap, and I will be buying Panther when its on the shelf. Screw what build number it is.

It's almost like some of you cant stand to be a build behind someone else or something along those lines. What other reason is their to argue about something that to me is really stupid?

Go outside and take in some fresh air because some of you have been testing panther too long!

If you think this is bad, you should've seen the Great Cheetah Wars. "4K78 is GM!" "No, it's not! It still has debug code!" "No, it has debug code now, but it has a feature so that once it's released, the debug code will disappear!"
Now, that was ridiculous. But fun to watch.

Because t's fun being on the "cutting edge" of what apple is up to, and seeing what changes from day to day. If you dont wanna read about it, then dont. Skip over the threads. End of story. Would be better than starting a whole thread about it.
everything you know is wrong (and stupid)

No, I don't mind reading it at all. Your on the cutting edge if what you see on apples developer site is what you got installed on your computer. That was my entire point. So if you got the highest build on the apple site then who gives a crap if someone has a better version. If you can't get it tough. Instead of argueing like babies over it. Still i find it most amusing and will still read a small blurb of it for a couple minutes each day.
