I recently noted that Apple gives discounts on select software to Govt Employees. My friend being one, he was able to order Panther for me for just $65! Sweeter than if I went hunting for a student to buy me the same :D

Best is, he ordered on Friday, and it was delivered yesterday! I installed it without hitch, and I can finally see what fun it is to switch users with the cube...:)

Being that you are not the government employee, I'm pretty sure that this is illegal.
 
It probably is, but *no-one need know* ;)

Welcome to Panther! I think you'll find it's well worth the money over Jaguar. You should already be accustomed to expose, while you'll find nice refinements to Safari and Mail, as well as a much better Preview. Font Book is about the only new feature that I don't really use much. Good stuff!
 
I love the "We all love Apple to death, but will gladly rip them off" attitude. :rolleyes:

Anyways welcome to Panther, it is a very nice OS. Hope you don't get to jealous when you see the Tiger preview in a month.
 
What I love is the speed with which people pass judgement, first of which is that I am stupid enough to do something illegal and post it here :rolleyes:

Please check :
State and Local Government Employee Purchase Program (“EPP”)

relevant portions:

The program is intended for personal use or for the use of family members and friends.

Personal Discount: You may purchase or “sponsor” up to six system bundles each calendar year (January 1-December 31). “Sponsoring” means placing an order for a family member or friend.

YAY IT'S LEGAL! I'm going to speak to my friend, who is a politician, you may know him... George Bush. He said he'd gladly buy me any Apple product throup the EPP program. :D

Maybe we don't all have the high moral standards of your good, wonderful self. At least he's paid sumthin for it, it's very easy not to :eek: :D
