Speaking of which: my virgin OSX is System 10.0, so I will have to upgrade it to use FinMac 2K4 when it arrives. I see that Apple is about to release 10.3 ("Panther"), but they don't say when. Should I upgrade to 10.2 now, or wait for the newer system to come out?
I'd say wait. The FinMac version is only due in October, and the rumours suggest that by that time 10.3 may be out. It may save you paying for the update twice, plus you will only have to reinstall > once.
I would wait as well. Panther is supposed to be out on September 15. But that's only based on monetary and installation factors. Another factor, which cannot be underestimated, is to become familiar with OS X in general so as to take advantage of it. For instance, adapting to a new emailer, backup mechanism, becoming familiar with the layout and organization of the file system, or finding out which things replace assorted utilities that would have been used on OS 9 takes time.
Or even just to learn that doing a custom install to get extra fonts but not install the support files for unnecessary languages and printers can save substantial disk space, search times, install times, and give a slight speed boost.
