headed to Munich tonight to pickup my copy of Leopard.
The Gravis guys waited until 6pm, the shop was quite busy before but at 6 some 200 people queued up in line to wait to receive the cat:
I was in that queue and Im sure there was well over 200
Boy was it badly organized!
We turned up about 5:30 and milled around will a about 150 people all looking a bit lost. There was no info about how the sales were going to be dealt with so I asked one of the many staff members hanging around. Just a shrug of the shoulders and "dont know".
6pm arrived and still no info, but a lot of people queued at the cash desks so we joined them. at least 250 people in front of us, and the queue was more a crowd. I spotted a staff member with a big cardboard box who came to the back of the front part of the shop and he put about 100 OS X boxes on a shelf. I managed to get one, they were all gone in 60 seconds. I heard him say to someone else, thats all unless you pre-ordered, but there area another 300 behind the cash desks. We rejoined the queue and waited to pay, a lot of people having no boxes still. about 45 minutes later I got to pay, and there must have been still 150 behind me.
Total chaos.
I am now awaiting delivery of Leopard server, which I got via a staff discount scheme at my wifes work with a 17% reduction
That should be with me by the 31st.
