New 15" PB and Panther in UK

[kwaka6]

Hi all,

On the point of ordering the new 15"PB online at the Applestore here in the UK. I assumed it would come with Panther but both the UK and the US Apple site specify Jaguar as the OS. :(

Does anyone here know???

many thanks

Call them, and say that you want it with Panther as that is the current OS. If they can't ship you a PowerBook with a Panther OS system disc, see if they'll give you a free upgrade disc.... after all, it's not your fault if the computers are shipping with an 'old' OS now is it.... ;)

Apple UK should use their discretion, and if they can't give you an answer, or don't want to play ball, then tell them you don't want to order yet then... ;)

This is excellent advice. I second it.
