View Full Version : Save these apps before upgrading to Panther..

When I upgraded to Panther, I was surprised to find some applications missing! I'm talking about system bundled programs, more specifically "CPU Monitor" and "Clock".

These programs are actually still in Panther, they just may not be where you would like them. The clock app is no longer a separate application, you have to enable it the system preferences; and you are forced to have either the menu-bar clock or the floating clock running (not both). If your like me, this would be highly disappointing (I use both).

CPU Monitor is also still there, but you have to get to it through a huge program called "Activity Monitor". So if you like the simplicity of a standalone CPU monitor program, save is before upgrading to Panther.

One more program you should save is "Calculator". Yes it's still there, but it looks ugly now; and the ticker tape is not a sleek drawer any more, but an annoying palette.

If you do an archive and install (which i highly recommend) it saves all these applications in /Previous Systems/Previous System 1/Applications/

That way you can simply move them from there to the new Apps folder and not lose anything.

The functionality of Disk Copy has apparently been rolled into Disk Utility. I didn't do a thorough investigation, but the addition of "burn" and "new image" buttons to the Disk Utility toolbar seems to point in that direction. All in all, probably a wise move -- more than once under Jaguar I launched one of these apps when I meant to launch the other.

Don't forget Key Caps.

It is not in the internation pref pane, hidden in an option and a menu item. Its just easier to launch an app.
