Does anyone else find the new active search feature too slow in the Panther finder? I have a 1Ghz Powerbook, but it's molasses-like.
Also, since I'm a Mac geek, I'm glad I got it, but Panther isn't, well, stunning or anything. Expose's Desktop show feature could benefit from being triggered by a menu icon like Show Desktop shareware. Making a screen corner hot is too sensitive to cursor movement near the corners so you get unwanted triggers. glad I got a teacher discount. GRRrrrrrrrrrr!

I'm running a 533 G4 desktop with 640MB RAM and I think it's very accceptable for a computer that I purchased 2.5 years ago. Thanks for mentioning this - I forgot it could do this and it is extremely useful!!
