Apple Announces Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Can't wait! Woo-hoo... 10.3 is gonna rock... on my test machine... and then hopefully it'll rock on my production machine. 🙂
this rocks. now i'm trying to decide between preordering the educational-discounted panther and have it shipped to my apartment, or finding my way to the apple store in tampa, fl (nevermind the 200+ mile drive there...) to be there for the "big event" they say will take place. yeah, the preorder-it-to-my-apartment sounds better. but i'm still trying to justify the price... $69 for windows moving out of the way when you want them to and a new finder? i dont use mail or any of the other software that got updates really. but exposé and the new finder seem really great.
FedEx has a service called "Home Delivery" that delivers in the evening, when most people are at home!
Panther siting in Canada
Any Canuck students out there? Have you noticed if you are getting a discount on Panther? I'm showing $179.00 in the Canadian Apple Edu store which means no discount at all.
Also, can anyone tell me if you need to have Jaguar in order to install Panther? I'm still running 10.1.
And finally, does anyone know where butterflies go when it rains?

Okay - I'm a happy guy. I entered my serial on the up to date page and it qualified me for an upgrade.
New Albook owners ought to give it a try.

I think the one here in Orlando would be a bit closer to you. But you should be able to order it in the FSU compter store with the edu discount. You might have to reserve a copy though. That's what I'll end up doing here at UCF.

inkmonkey,
i noticed the same thing about the apple canada store. give em some time, they normally don't update the prices as fast as the US store 😛
but it'll be there eventually. no one i'm shelling out $179 CDN when i'm a student.. lol 😛 plus the fact that i just purchased a new 12" on the 16th of sept and hope that i can somehow get it cheaper.. 🙂
with the new albook owners somehow qualifying for the up-to-date program.. i'm wondering why my serial number doesn't work? it basically can't find my system in the database or whatever..

butterflies go out of the way of panthers (have a look at msn🙂
for a lot of mac users with older machines, the speed acceleration of panther willbe like buying an processorupgrade!
this will help - in spring 2004 i'll get a new mac, so long panther will run my g4 dual 450 with 2gb ram and 500 gb storage.
i am ver excited!!!

The family five pack...
Let's see..."Family 5-pack" for $199? Divide that by 5 and that's $39.80 for each household Mac user--Maybe I can convince my family to move in with me, and make the switch! On a second thought, think I'll stick with the $129 single license.

My comment was a condition contrary to fact: it would be meaningless if uncopyable media were possible.
My AI17" Powerbook is less than a month old and I am not qualified for the upgrade!
Apple really suck this time!!!
I bought my AI 17" Powerbook when it was released last month... I received my machine on September 22 and now Apple says "only computers purchased on or after October 8th 2003 are qualified!" Come on Apple, the machine is less than a month old!
That's is b******t!
If someone out there who's in the same situation and thing we can do something about it, please let me know, I am on it!

That argument falls down when you have, for instance, a rendering project running on one machine while you're using another to do some editing.
15" Coming with a new cat
Just rang Apple to chase my new PB (after 5 e-mails with different expected ship dates in as many days)
They say it will leave Taiwan at the end of this week or the beginning of next and ship with Panther!!!
WoooHoooooo
Probably means it won't actually reach me until 24/10 but maybe I'll get a new Cat early!!!

As I've said before, the upgrade price most likely does not include:
Archive and Install feature which is a godsend for troubleshooting preference issues.
Developer Tools.
So whether you qualify for upgrade price or not, be aware, that the upgrade short changes you in one way or another. The retail version is likely a much better release to have.

Umm for starters you could read my post a couple above your rant

I agree with you. I just got a 1.25 ghz imac. Delivered on the 25th of Sept.
How do you think I feel? I have to suck it up and deal with it. Like one of the posters mentioned, you have to have a cut-off date. But how about a month before, Apple! I'll still get it. I'll just grimace a little when I hand over my money. 😉

I did mention that in the original post and said that most situations like that would be due to waiting on other SW and not the OS. Although you may still would be "using" the OS... then again if the other computer is just rendering and you don't touch it, then your just really using the Darwin kernel and not the OS.
I know it is a splitting of hairs argument. But then again forcing one user to buy multiple copies of the same license to use on two different computers seems to be also splitting some pretty fine hairs..
Panther Upgrade path for NEW Powerbook line!
I just bought the new 15 inch superdrive aluminum powerbook with a G4 running at 1.25Ghz. How come my computer came out AFTER the G5's but I don't get an inexpensive upgrade path? When I bought the computer just two weeks ago, long after the G5's were announced, I asked the store about upgrading to Panther and the store representative said they'd have an upgrade path for new computers! Why are G5's an exception to the October 8th cutoff date but not the new G4 powerbooks? The powerbooks cost more, came out later and help boost Apple mindshare by being seen in public rather than being cooped up in an office or a home.
I bought the M8981LL/A model on September 17th. I feel hurt and betrayed that I'm not qualified for the $19.95 upgrade but people who bought their computers months ago are.
A sad apple user,
joe.

Do you people even read the posts here?
I already posted that my new albook (bought on 9/17) qualified me and suggested folks give it a try....do I need to yell?
The site would not qualify my iMac bought 8/5

What kind of alPB is it? 12", 15", 17"?
Did you have to register your powerbook online with Apple?
I tried it... but no luck so far. I just got my 12" delivered TODAY (ordered 09/18) and typed in the serial (didnt' see any "-" symbols in the Serial on the box though...) and it doesn't qualify.
DO I put today's date or 09/18?
Thanks!

What seems silly is your implication that you can use the same sheets on two different beds at the same time. There's really no question what the policy (and law) is. If you don't want to pay it, then don't. No one is likely to stop you from pirating your OS. But don't try to pretend that you aren't pirating it.
