Tiger for Panther-users suffering from Triskaidekaphobia

Do you suffer from triskaidekaphobia? If so, consider the following: beloved member of Weblogs, Inc., Judith Meskill was born on a Friday the 13th and her name is 13 characters long, and so magically the number 13 and Friday the 13th are lucky for her.

The Roman numeral X represents the number 10, and since Panther is the third iteration of OS X, ten plus three equals 13! Also, a Panther is a black cat! It's bad luck. Get rid of it. Get 10.4 Tiger, and move on to a luckier life.

If you make the switch today, perhaps you can successfully cancel out the bad luck of the day, you superstitious weirdo.

But of course, for those of us who live in the UK, a black cat is thought to be lucky. Maybe not such a good reason to ditch Panther after all ^^.

Friday the 13th is the best -- I was born on this day, some years back. :) It's always worth a laugh or two when I tell people... the usual response is "So... that explains it..."

Just a point, if 13 is lucky for Judith Meskil, then why isn't it lucky for OS Panther? considering all the signs point to it being lucky....pls, from what I've seen from tiger, it's not all that good.

actually, it's the fourth iteration of OS X: 10.0 = Cheetah 10.1 = Puma 10.2 = Jaguar 10.3 = Panther 10.4 = Tiger ...and no I don't get out much
