Jaguar Shipping...

[skunk]

Newsflash!

I've just checked the AppleStore US (online), and although the main OS X pages are the same ($129) with no options, if you go to the store page and click on Apple Software, OS X Family pack with 5 licences is 2nd on the list, at $199. But there's no mention of it anywhere else on the Site. How weird is that?

I can

Turns out you can buy the Family Pack through the Government EPP program, for $99.50. So we could have saved $30 if we'd gone for that option.

Oh well. Live and learn and all that.

One of my two copies of the single license for OS 10.2 has SHIPPED according to Apple Sales and Apple Website. I tried to cancel it yesterday and today...but it was too late.

I canceled my second copy and ordered the family license...I prob wont get this until the next week..

As for the one that's shipped...I'll have to call Apple AGAIN when it gets here to get the RMA number.

I spent 1 hr on the phone with the Apple Sales # yesterday and another hour today...I'm not exactly having a 'wonderful apple experience'...

I'm going to have to return the OS X 10.2 single copy and wait now maybe up to a week for the family version...which really sucks.

This just in!

I just got this email from apple:

Subject: Your Jaguar Order Update

destination. We look forward to delivering Mac OS X.2 to you by Saturday,

Thank you for shopping at the Apple Store!

Oh well, so maybe I won't get it until Friday after all. Still, it's good to see that Apple's making sure people who pre-ordered it get it by the release date, rather than waiting until the release date to start the shipping process - I'd previously been expecting it not to actually ship until the 26th.

...not having a wonderful apple experience....

Yeah I admit, it is great that they are making sure that the people (like me) who pre-orderd it...will infact have it on the day its 'released'.

However, for people (like me) who have multiple systems and who made multiple orders...the inability to cancel them and order the family licensing...have cost me time on the phone with Apple (two hours on hold over the past 2 days) and a ton of frustrations...

And on top of that...I'll have to ship the OS back to them when it returns for a refund and still probably wont have the family licensing until the week AFTER because that was only ordered this weekend (as oppossed to when I made my first order the day of the Apple Expo).

So you can see...why...I'm less than thrilled and am not having a wonderful apple experience...

OS X events in Japan

Just wanted to let you guys know our OS X situations in Japan.

It will be released on August 24 just like in any other parts of the world, but the good news (for me!) is that Japan Standard Time is about 13 hours ahead of EST. Yes, baaaaby! Huh, but I guess some stores in the states will release them at Zero AM???

Apple does not have official Apple stores in Japan. But it has announced that three major Apple computer retailers in the heart of Tokyo will host count-down events with Jaguar T-shirts giveaway at 10:02 AM on 24th. The stores will include Yodobashi Camera in Shinjuku, Laox Mac-kan in Akihabara and Sofmap in Yurakucho.

Considering how crazy the OS X public beta event was in Tokyo, there could be some long-long line of people in front of these stores that morning.

Up to date program shipping

I placed my order weeks ago for the up-to-date program ($19.95, for "shipping fee"). I was just told by customer service, those discs will be shipped by regular mail "when the product is in stock."

I guess those of us who were able to get in on that deal won't get Jaguar by this weekend.

I shouldn't complain, since I'm not paying the full $129, but it would have been cool to get it sooner rather than later.

Anyone else heard about how the up-to-date program is working?

I was told when I ordered mine that it would ship 'within 24 hours of release date via regular USPS mail.' I'm taking that to mean the 23rd since the 24 is a Saturday.

Not yet here

Unfortunately, Apple UK don't seem to have got their act together yet: single-user only But I'm expecting an iBook tomorrow which I hope will come with 10.2...

07/17/2002 W3157*** Partially Shipped

Go check you order status everyone. 10.2 is partially shipping.

I think thats bull. I think it is fully shipping and then want it to seem like a suprise.

Did you all get the email clarifying that the other day?

I got the email and mine says the same thing. The problem that I have is that my credit card has only been billed for $5.30, which by the email that they sent me was the expected shipping cost. Is anyone else getting this?

Sorry Skunk...but don't expect 10.2 to be loaded on your machine. If you are lucky you MIGHT have the upgrade CD included in your pack but unless your machine was manufactured VERY recently you will have 10.1.4 loaded on it.

 

[skunk]

Yup

Came with 10.1.4 loaded and 2 Jaguar upgrade discs. You have to load/restore 10.1.4 before you can upgrade. The second CD is just additional drivers. The security update downloads fast but takes a long while to "process".

Apple Store release

Anybody make it to an Apple Store Friday night?

I got to the Palo Alto store around 10:40pm. The line was ENORMOUS! There were easily over 1000 people in line when I got there, other people I talked to thought it was closer to 2000+. It was pretty cool, but you really had to be an addict (geek?) to stay the course, but seemed like everyone did. I don't remember seeing anyone drop out of the line, even though the last of the line didn't get through the door around 1:30am, which was only about 10 minutes behind me.

The store ran out of the Family Packs, but there was plenty of single user copies to go around.

It was a LONG night, but it was fun. Just wondering what it was like an any of the other stores?
