Overall OSX Jaguare sounds great, iChat tho, that sounds real dumb and will be in the trash along with Outlook, Apple Mail App, and IE.

I don't think that you absolutely NEED a high end card.  I read the site and it says 'reccomended', meaning it would be best if you used said card but not absolutely needed.
And Ichat is like AIM, but crappy.

CommonSense:
I never understood why there were so many people who don't get it.  I'd see them on other forums, getting upset and furious, thinking that a 32MB graphics card was REQUIRED for Jaguar.  And those who understood that it was recommended, not required, still got mad because they thought you'd need the 32MB card to get the SAME speed 10.1 gives you, and that it'd be SLOWER if you didn't have one.

The fact is, Jaguar will run faster than 10.1, REGARDLESS.  This is according to beta testers who are using the real thing, even on machines that don't have one of the "blessed" video cards.  But if you DO have one, it'll run even faster than that.

(sigh)

iChat isn't crap; you can turn off the little bubbles and have a normal AIM window, if you want to.  It does what it's designed to do really well -- be an AIM replacement, plus add new functionality (plug into a new network, and it automatically 'discovers" all other Macs on the network and adds them to a temporary "buddy list" for you, so you don't have to try hunting people down in the office to find out their user IDs to chat with them).  Don't know about you, but in my universe, that's more in the "kick-ass" domain than the "crap" domain.

I believe this image pretty much sums up my feelings toward Apple:

Hey webman, I don't think it sux at all! Im sorry if I gave that impression, I can't wait till Jaguare, I think it will be fantastic.

I was missinformed about the videocard issue, and if what you say is true, it will be even better for my low-end iMac server.

As far as iChat is concerned, I have never been a big fan of integrated messanger clients, I think it's great that it's compatible with AOLIM and stuff, I just don't want it to turn into another MSN middleware integrated OS "feture" that can only be bad news. Not that I expect Apple to stoop to that low, but you never know.

As for goosebunny:

The iPod is the best selling and most highly rated MP3 player. Not only that, but it's a cheep 10GB, portable hardrive!

There are people who are actually programming PDA style applications for it considering that the iPod runs a striped down, and modified version of MacOS 1.0, you can probably do more with it than you could with palm OS.

Another nifty thing is the story of some guy who walked into CompUSA and downloaded all of their software to his iPod and walked out. Not that I condone that sort of thing, but I think the capabilities of the little gadget are astounding  :D

Anyway, I think Jaguare is gonna rock, sorry to give an impression otherwise.

I hadn't heard that it runs Mac OS 1.0 (I have System 1 on floppy, j00t). Can you send along a few links to back that up?
