Re: Upgrade to 10.3 on G4

   Charles James asked, in the context of upgrading three G4 Macs from
Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X 10.1 to Mac OS X 10.3 ("Panther"):
>>Corporate Time?

And Greg Merritt replied;
> Yes.

   Oracle Calendar 9.0.4.2 (formerly named Corporate Time) is the
latest release of the native client for the campus's shared
calendaring service, CalAgenda. It's available via
<http://calagenda.berkeley.edu>. Runs fine under Mac OS X 10.3.4.

   A colleague here updated her Adobe products by purchasing the Adobe
Creative Suite
<http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/overview.html> -- hence
the "CS" appellation in the product names -- which includes
Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, and Acrobat Professional,
as well as Version Cue, a file browser/database.

   A license for Adobe Creative Suite Premium 1.1 from TRC appears to
start at just $160, with additional costs for concurrent licenses and
maintenance. The Scholar's Workstation (TSW) sells a boxed product
to campus departments for $395, which is still an excellent price,
given how expensive Adobe's products are when purchased separately.
