Updates on OS X 10.3 Panther, Dreamweaver & Firewire Drive
Crashes
First, some news on the computer front. I'd mentioned
a few problems with the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther", one of which I
solved, so I'll mention the solution here (and hope anyone needing it will be
lead here by Google).

Dreamweaver MX (version 6.1) can not use its Spell Checker with Panther if you have the File Vault security feature activated. That's it plain and simple. If you want spell check, you must not use the File Vault. I'm sure someone will fix that down the line, and unless you're like a CIA spy or something like that, File Vault isn't going to be a "live or die" kind of feature, especially since it never existed before this new release of Panther.
Another Apple issue that's rather disturbing: it does sound like many people with external Firewire hard drives are having their entire drives (the data, not the physical device) destroyed when upgrading to Panther. This is pretty serious business and I'm amazed that Apple's been silent about this issue. Losing a hard disk (like I have now) can be SERIOUSLY NASTY. This could put some major egg on Apple's face if they don't act quickly to fix things!
