I'll be at the Short Pump Town Center Apple Store for the kick-off! Lood for me with my original iBook and new 20g iPod!!! 
Also, I can confirm that the Apple Stores will close at 7:30pm for the party set up along with formating ALL of their Macs to 10.3 and displaying all sorts of cool Panther stuff around. There will also be a free give-away for the first few people along with being able to win a Mac!

ATTENDING PANTEHER RELEASE EVENTS
Anyone going to the event held at Keystone in Indianapolis???
I sure can use a ride!!! Of all how many 1000s of students, there must be someone going or wanting to go, right?!
Anyone want to share a ride? rent a car?
I think we should have a separate thread for this!
3 days!

Re: Translation
To "go all out" means to spare no expense, to be extravagant, to everything you possibly can.

When will Panther be in new Macs?
I am delaying my purchase of a G5 in order to get Panther pre-installed as I'd rather not go through the upgrade process.
From past experience, would somebody when Panther loaded Macs will be available?
Thanks!

Re: Powerbook updates?
Nope, not yet, however my ground shipping was bumped up to 2-day for free!!
No shipping notice yet, but I'm scheduled for 2 day shipping on an Up-to-Date plan order. They wouldn't have to ship until tomorrow to hit the 2-day shipping window.
But, Apple *did* hit my credit card again for the amount of sale, something online store rep said wouldn't happen again until they were preparing to ship.

My brothers ordered 2 12"/1GHz/AP/COMBO on the 18th September the inefficient apple store UK didnt deliver them till a month later.
However they qualified for the Up to Date program in the UK.
Still nasty having to pay £30 more when we have just shelled out around £3000 worth of equipment.
I think Apple should take better care of their customers than that, especially seen as they didnt even recognise my payment for 2 weeks!

Blah, quit whining. You bought what you bought. Why should Apple give you a copy of Panther? You got your system with Jaguar, which works just fine by the way, before Panther's release. Apple's giving you a $100 discount... is that really not enough?
DELIVERIES MADE TILL 8PM FOR PANTHER
FedEX delivers until 8pm to homes on weekdays, so sometime friday or before everyone here in the states should have their copy of Panther.
Didn't bother to see if anyone said this before.

i ordered Panther on the 11th, and suddenly my overnight shipping that I paid for was changed to 2 day. so i called Apple and the girl says "well i can just credit you the shipping since you aren't supposed to get it till Friday anyway" as if to imply that i should take the free shipping, its going out today or tomorrow, and i will have friday even by the slowest method. i declined and told her that i wanted overnight so i could have it early. to which she said "you won't have it till Friday" to which I said "you are aware of a ton of people getting notices that it shipped today, right?" to which she said "OK sir." and that was that.
No ship notice yet but I did notice that they upgraded me from 'ground' shipping to 2 day so I guess I'll get it on Friday along with everyone else....
WOOT
WOOT
No edu at Willow Bend
Just talked to someone at the Willow bend Apple Store in North Dallas, TX. No .edu pricing on software (except MS Office which comes in a special box that they do carry).
On another note - I got a $20 Apple Store e-coupon from Apple for renewing my .Mac subscription. Can't use it at the physical Apple Store's - just online or via the 800 number. I tried using it on the Apple Store for Education and got an "Claim Code is not valid" error.
I sent an email off asking about it, but I'm gonna be po'ed if I cannot use it with Edu' discount. I mean, what's the point of it for students then? (That $20 coupon was one of the clincher's in my decision to stay with my .Mac account)

i haven't received a shipment confirmation, but credit card was billed. checked the online order status thingy and all it says is: est. ship on or before 10-24-03. it'd sure be nice to get it for the weekend.

As long as you save all your important files and preferences first. If you have already done that you should have no problems with reformatting your disk and installing it from scratch. If you want to update your existing copy of Jaguar, make sure you disable andy hacks or applications that modify the system. You might not really need to do all this, but in the event of problems, you will be glad you did. I updated a fresh copy of jaguar and it is running faster than it ever has on this old B&W.
By the way, if you use your Mac primarily as a business computer, you should wait a few days just to be sure there isn't some bug everyone will be reporting over the weekend.
Har Har Har....
I live in the small town of Haines, Alaska. No shipping notice yet. Dont tell me that Missouri is out in the sticks. I have to take a 4.5 hour ferry ride just to get to a city that has an airport.

Well as a new PB owner I too think that it would be nice if you got "Up-To-Dated" by walking your new PB back to the store your purchased it from and got 10.3 for free. But that's just the way of things. If ever Longhorn ships
I'm sure there will be WIndows users saying the same thing...At least its apparently shipping for free
When will Panther be preloaded on PowerBooks?
Any word on how soon PowerBooks will be available with Panther preloaded?

Well when you have paid around $5000 worth of equipment and it takes exactly one month to deliver due to the reason that they couldn't seem to see the payment and only realise they had it till i reminded them im sure that you would get annoyed.
Never doing a bank transfer again.
although, im glad that the up-to-date program worked.
Looking forward to Panther
