It should be just the normal Apple Store. It is for my up-to-date. But for you extra special G5 people, maybe you're too important for our order tracking site. Elitists.
Just kidding. And I loved your G5 pics

Just so anyone in the central valley in California will know.....
The Apple Store at Arden Fair DOES NOT give educational discounts on operating systems. I called them myself, feel free to go to http://www.apple.com/retail/ardenfair/ to call them and see for yourself.

Re: ship soon
Yeah but how about when the FedEx guy gets there in the morning before you go to work, Shaaaazammmm. You've gotta love that, it happened with my new PB. Need less to say, I didn't get much work done tht day.

I live about 5 mins away from apple canada and my UTD order status said on or before 10/21/3002 but was still "open" last time I checked. However now the Canadain store order status like many others is down.
Thats cool though since my G5 came with Panther, hehe.

Just got an e-mail to say my Education-discounted copy (UK) is on its way. My Cube is wetting itself.

Thank you Phil!I will check the order tracking site.
Yes. It has been opined here and elsewhere that perhaps this is a result of the massive number of hits it is receiving from eager Panther customers. But I have a hard time believing a few overenthusiastic geeks are overloading the system. Rather, I prefer to think that so many Panther shipments are being processed right now that they had to take the system offline while they update all the orders.
Hey, I can hope.

Re: No edu at Willow Bend
Looks like you may be disappointed then. The fine print for the .Mac renewal offer clearly stated that the $20 credit cannot be used in conjunction with educational pricing. We thought about using it for an educational purchase of Panther, but saw this in the fine print, so we opted for The Sims instead. Unfortunately the only other things we needed recently at the Apple Store were $19 cables, and the $20 discount also doesn't cover shipping/tax, so it was no good for those either.

Re: pc program in panther?
There was an early article about Panther in the last month or so that mistakenly gave the impression that Virtual PC or similar technology was included with Panther. I forget who published it, but it showed up on the rumor sites before the publisher quickly clarified that it was a mistake. That's probably where they got it.
Unfortunately G5s are probably out of luck until Microsoft fixes Virtual PC for them. Who knows how long that might take??

Re: clean install question
I haven't seen the Panther install yet, but either you will be given a choice of installation types, or there will be a Customize button at some point in the process. Don't be afraid to push that button and choose the option that fits you best!
I'd say for most people, Archive/Install is the way to go. You get a nice clean install of the OS, but you don't lose all your data and settings.
That's a good point! Regardless of which install method you use, it would be a very good idea to backup /Users/Shared/SC Info. This is where iTunes authorization is stored. If you really want to be ultra-safe, you could deauthorize too, and just reauthorize after the install. But backing up and restoring the SC Info folder should also work.

For those planning to Attend in MA
I just called the Apple Store CambridgeSide....
I asked "What time should I arrive at the store Friday Night?"
The Guy said for the Jaguar Release @ the Store, the line went all the way down past the cheesecake factory.... Now for those who have been to the Galleria, knows that is a very long line.
I'm planning on arriving around 6pm... shouldn't be too bad around then considering people will be getting out of work around that time...
Wouldn't it be nice to come in with nothing, and leave with Panther and a iMac or G5!?!? Only Time Will Tell!!
Night of the Panther is Approaching!

Hi,
I am a UK Apple Reseller, and we received all of our stocks yesterday morning. I was as suprised as you guys, considering the Friday launch. I was expecting stocks to arrive on Friday, or after the event, just like the Jaguar event.
Anyhow, installation is a breeze. Just run the installer and it senses you already are running 10.2 and it does an upgrade. Takes around 40ish minutes to run. Doesn't ask for CD#3. First impressions are the speed it now makes my Powerbook 12 run at. Very impressive. Next I installed it onto a G4 400 and had problems, the installer said there was an error with the install, try again. I tracked this down to be a disc error on the hard drive, so Norton 8 fixed that, and then Panther installed fine. The G4 400 is now much zippier than before...
I'll be playing some more today, just getting ready for Friday
