Check out www.appleonlooker.com....they have some info on Puma and what we can expect. Take this info how you will...despite my inclination to distrust all rumors on this type of site, it is interesting and seems plausible...the big question is then when will we see it??
Have a wonderful day folks.

something weird is going on with the html on that page. I just see a grey screen (in both netscape and ie), but if I drag, I can drag images around.

Puma Details Leaked!
Posted Monday, April 30th 2001 by daniel
We've received some unconfirmed information about the latest builds of Puma. Development of Mac OS X is still set in high gear, so don't think 4L13 is the best Apple can do.
The build number is still unknown, however the latest developments of this release are listed below:
��Includes the latest version of Darwin (1.4)
� Quartz Engine updated so more parts of the operating system are accellerated by the GPU
��More graphics cards supported (The graphics cards which this build supports is unknown)
��Includes an updated version of Internet Connect, System Preferences, Internet Explorer, and Mail.
��Panes have minor cosmetic changes and have more options (such as Sound having Speaker Testing),
� Drivers, Drivers, Drivers!!! Apple is hard at work programming drivers for lots of different devices.
� Input Sprocket. It is rumoured that a version of Input Sprocket is in developedment for Mac OS X.
The General pane has been renamed to Appearance, and contains more options to customize your computer. However, still only Graphite and Blue remain as the only accent colours.
We warn you that this is unconfirmed info, so don't treat it as a press release.

I doubt this for one reason.
It claims Inputsprockets is being updated.
Didn't Apple say a year ago that Inputsprockets where dead, being replaced with .kext files or something?
The rest of it seems believable, but I would think Apple wouldn't spent so long developing PUMA if it was nothing but Cheetah with new drivers.

GameSprockets have been discontinued; they've been replaced by the HID Manager, which some people are peeved about (rightfully so) because stuff like InputSprocket provided more functionality. HID Manager is not quite as good for developing games, I believe, although the end result in OS X is that games run better (optimized OpenGL, etc -- assuming you have a supported card).
I don't know about this stuff ... people tend to make up info off the top of their head in a Ryan Meader-esque way when it comes to OS X news. I'll believe it when Steve tells me himself.

One thing about Puma to keep in mind: if you're out for a walk and you spot one, walk away slowly and don't even think of climbing the nearest
tree because they can climb trees better than humans can. They're very
likely faster than humans too so don't try to run.
Oh. Wrong puma. Sorry.

Apple has publicly stated that InputSprockets is dead. NetSprocket isn't supported anymore either, but the functionality is there with OpenPlay which runs on OS X. DrawSprocket is emsasculated at best, not all the functionality is there yet. But the loss of InputSprockets is probably the worst here.
Apple could do so much more by releasing *documentation* for the APIs than releasing further system updates. Developers can't develop unless they have the explanations for things like HID Manager. This isn't there yet, so no one (except Omni and other developers who have cushier relationships with Apple) has even preliminary documentation on it. Apple is working on this, but this is currently my biggest frustration. HID Manager and lack of documentation on CoreGraphics. TN2007 doesn't quite cut it. Sample code please? PLEASE? Is this too much to ask?
