Get OSX v10.2 Jaguar for $98.00
Referred to by its code name, Jaguar, Mac OS X v10.2 is a different breed of operating system. Jaguar combines the rock-solid reliability of UNIX with the ease of use of Macintosh. This version of Mac OS X is as innovative as the computers that run it. And whether you’re a Mac user who’s upgrading, a Windows user who’s looking at switching to the Mac or a UNIX user who loves the idea of using key applications like Microsoft Office on top of a state-of-the art BSD UNIX implementation, this is the OS for you.
Mac OS X v10.2 is loaded with over a 150 compelling new features — like an instant messaging client that’s compatible with AOL’s, an enhanced Mail application that lets you filter out junk mail, an address book that’s an activity center for all your contacts, and a full-featured search engine so useful that you’ll soon feel lost without it.
Mac OS X v10.2 also features QuickTime 6, the next-generation multimedia standard with support for MPEG-4 video. Quartz Extreme, the hardware accelerated, fully composited graphics system, gives it souped-up 2D and 3D capabilities. Plus a significantly enhanced Finder with spring-loaded folders. Rendezvous, a revolutionary technology that lets you create an instant network of computers and peripheral devices. Not to mention a host of features and capabilities that will impress hardcore Unix users.
iChat is the first client compatible with AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), allowing instant messaging between .Mac members, AOL members and AIM users. With its engaging use of the Mac OS X Aqua interface, iChat provides a great new user experience, with dialog bubbles and buddy photos that present instant messages in a graphically conversational manner — and no annoying ads.You can send instant messages directly to friends, share your picture with friends by dragging it onto the icon next to your name in the buddy list (at which time it will show up automatically on all your friends’ buddy lists), and transfer photos, movies or other files by attaching them to your messages. Want to point friends to content on the Internet? You can do it by typing or pasting clickable links into your messages. You can even assign names to these links so your friends will see blue-highlighted words instead of long URLs.
Mac OS X’ standards-based email program is designed to weed the junk mail out of your mailbox. The new spam-handling feature in Mail has a sophisticated language filter that uses adaptive latent semantic analysis to identify and nail junk mail messages. You can store messages on an IMAP server so you can access them from any computer, anywhere. You can create a signature with your contact information and a whimsical quote of the day that rotates randomly. You can customize your Mail toolbar with commands like Redirect, Flag or Bounce to Sender to include the functions you use most often. And you can watch QuickTime movies directly within Mail. Mail even tells you when buddies who’ve sent you email are online, giving you the option of turning email exchanges into real-time chats.
Address Book is built on the vCard format an open industry-standard way of storing contact information. You can drag and drop from incoming email directly into Address Book, and the information will be entered automatically — no more typing. You can set-up Address Book to look up contact information from LDAP directory servers. You can also exchange information between your Address Book and Bluetooth-enabled devices. iChat also uses the new system-wide Address Book to manage your contact information so you never have to enter a buddy’s name twice.
Your personal search detective has had a radical makeover, and now comes with whole new levels of functionality. In addition to locating hard-to-find information wherever it hides or resides on the Internet, Sherlock 3 delivers the latest news, up-to-the-minute flight status information and stock prices, as well as addresses, maps and driving directions to the places you need to go. Need to track shipments? Sherlock follows them for you.
