$10.55 for mine, I bought my Macbook 13 inch Unibody back in June on day one of BTS promo...then about 2 weeks later exchanged it for the Macbook Pro 13 inch unibody since it came out like a week after I bought mine for cheaper. Then about a month later my hard drive died so I had them give me a whole new computer...so I only have to pay $10.55 for mine including shipping. It says ships by August 28th.
 
I think It's hilarious how everyone is acting toward this OS release... i'm waiting for the post where someone starts crying cause they're so excited
 
I spend every evening with my wife, so Friday will be with Snow Leopard

Fair enough,
My appologies mate, I wasn't trying to be rude to you.

We also get to spend every evening together, but weekday evenings can be hecktic sometimes we're doing chores,
she's doing homework, we're doing bills, or whatever. Friday evenings we try to reserve as a 'Date Night'
when we can afford it that might mean going to a restraunt, other times it might simply be relaxing with a small treat together watching some old M*A*S*H reruns.
ragardless of what it is, for us Friday nights are reserved, and I (We..I hope lol) quite lookforeward to that.

I happen to work right next to the main Fed-Ex station that does the sorting for all of the state, and we usually get our delivieries in the morning. (I had SL shipped to my work address)
so I'm hoping I'll be able to 'cheat' and have the install running while I'm working.
that way I get the best of both options.

All the best to ya !

Did anyone see anything about Sun's ZFS file system being included? PCMag.com is claiming that it is in OS X 10.6.

PC Mag:

The upgrade will include built-in support for Microsoft Exchange servers, a 64-bit kernel and drivers, a smaller memory and disk footprint, a new lightweight version of QuickTime known as QuickTime X that supports more video formats, Grand Central multicore processor support, OpenCL, and support for Sun's ZFS open-source file system.
 
Already preordered and can hardly wait! Open CL is genius ( wish I could use it :( ) but I can't wait until lots of programs start taking advantage of SL!

Gatepc Bows down to the apple overlords
 
I'm excited as I would be about any new release. But I also wonder if I should be hesitant in how many applications will be "broken" by 10.6? I hate to be the test rat.
 
I thought they pulled ZFS from the beta's a while back. and were only supporting it in SL Server.

Good luck finding it even in SL server. There are very few references to ZFS anywhere on Apple's site any more. It apparently has fallen completely off the face of the earth.
 
They aren't "bogus" until we see the real build number now are they ?

And for all I know Apple has completed the 64-bit boot for Mac Pro's etc.

And I have been an ADC member for 10 years and I have NEVER seen a preview build become the GM.

;)

"Mac OS X, Panther Build 7B85 is a pre-release version of Mac OS X v10.3 Panther."

Available though ADC for Premier developers on Oct. 14th, 2003. Build 7B85 ended up being the GM and shipped 10 days later on Oct. 24th.

It's definitely not here in the build I'm using.

Not that many. I've been good so far.
 
no it doesnt, you cleanly install leopard, then straight after cleanly install the update.

It helps prevent piracy.
All Apple update dics have done the same thing. As long as it sees the previous OS version installed, it will allow you to do an erase clean install.
 
Excellent.

Pre-ordered the family pack for my family of Intel-based Macs :)
Mac Pro, Mac mini Core Duo, Mac mini Core 2 Duo, MacBook Pro.

Have one license left though.... :eek:

I wonder if we will get these delivered on the 28th over here in Holland. Usually Apple is very good in getting these around the globe @ the correct date. :cool:

It will be a gr8 weekend!!! :apple:
 
hey guys got a question. My gf bought eh new MBP 13in on june 11 and i bought an imac on may 29th. She qualifies for the 9.95 up to date program. Would she be able to make 2 separate orders for the 9.95 software so that I will be able to get one for the 9.95? It has to be done thru her account b/c they verify the mac when you go to order Reason why I ask this is because I read this on the qualifying page....

"Please enter the required information into the form below to qualify your system for the Up-To-Date Program. The appropriate software will then be added to your cart. You will need to enter information for each qualifying computer - the maximum number of Up-To-Date packages that can be qualified is 20"
 
Spoke to Apple twice, got 2 different answers

So, I bought a 2009 Mini in July... and applied for the UTD program once I received the machine. I've been reading the thread and have noticed different ppl have gotten different info from Apple regarding UTD... So I called Apple, the first CSR told me that the only answer she could get was that it will be September before we get the UTD's... So i went online and ordered the $29 version and attempted to cancel my UTD order... It wouldn't let me do it online, so I called Apple again to cancel it. She said she was unable to cancel it because it was being prepared for shipment, yet my order on my side displays, Not Yet Shipped, and Ships: September. As I have no need for 2 copies and can't justify the expense of both to wait n see which one arrives first, I asked her, in her experience, does her lack of being able to cancel the first mean it's being prepared and is going to ship. She responded yes and therefore I cancelled the new $29 order... It is still confusing and there seems still to be no definite as to when the UTD's will arrive, but thought I'd share it with you all...:confused:
 
Anyone want to comment on this nugget of info from the SL wikipedia page?

Build 10A432 was released to developers on August 12, 2009, and is Golden Master. As opposed to the previous three builds, this one was released as a DVD disc image rather than made available to download via Software Update for users running previous builds, and its End-User License Agreement appears to be of the final product, with no mention of being a developers' preview.​
