Which version of the OS you got? The original 10.2.8?

apple said that 10.2.7and the origional 10.2.8 were bad indicators of battery life.
make sure your 10.2.8 is build 6R73.

I ran 7b68 on a G4 Cube 450MHz before I got my G5 1.6GHz... Performed very nicely... Should definatly run fine on an 800MHz G4... definatly faster than Jag... I also have a gig of ram in that cube, so if you do have performance problems w/ panther, consider upping the ram...

Panther availability.

Within the next few hours (minutes?) we will have an answer. I believe the Apple stores have gone down for the Panther announcement. Credit to MacBidouille.

I reckon 1 refresh every second and a half. But that becomes quickly boring...

Well, that's in the last week. Almost, just 7 days before Halloween.
