Mac OS X 10.4 Release Event

Macrumors said:


All in-store Macs will come with Tiger DVD's so any new Macs purchased on that day will come with a copy of Mac OS X 10.4. Of note, retail packages only contain DVD media of Mac OS X 10.4. Users which require CD versions of Tiger must mail in for Apple's Media Exchange Program which offers Tiger on CD for $9.95.

So, if the 10% off happens, I can get a Mac Mini for $449 + tax and get the retail boxed version of Tiger for free? Then I can leave Panther on the Mini and put Tiger on the PowerBook. That's basically getting the Mini for $320 figuring I would have paid $129 for Tiger.

I think the Mini would make a good jukebox / iPhoto viewer on my HDTV. Hope the video card can drive 1920x1080 decent enough.

How about a live Tiger with......laaaazer beams!! Mwwwhhahahaha :D

I should be attending the event at the Roosevelt Field Mall Apple Store in Garden City, NY. I got Panther dog tags at the Panther launch and a free t-shirt at the store opening. I didn't expect to find a line when I got there; I was suprised to see so many Apple fans in my area.

Anyone from here going?

I'll be there. Since I work in Uniondale, I'll probably just leave the office at 5.

I was there for Panther launch and as I walked up the stairs, I saw no line. I just walked towards the door and then an Apple employee pointed to my left. Long line. It did move pretty fast.

We just moved to the Kansas City area from a place with no Apple Store. I am going to checkout the long lines for the first time in person :)

Welcome to Kansas City! Kansas or Missouri side?

I live pretty close to the Plaza. I ordered Tiger online cuz I didn't like feeling like I might stand in line and not get it that day. Almost happened with Panther but that was before the Apple Store.

I'll hit the store though to see how busy it gets.
 
I think I may goto the regent street store but I can only get there fore about 4:15 after school. Hopefully queues won't be as bad as the opening where I waited 14 hours.
 
AWW.. Be Social

It SUX having two Apple stores within a 20 minute drive from my house...oh wait..no it doesn't. :D

Seriously though. I'm a geek but I'm not THAT big of a geek to show up for an OS release.

A nice jam section and a time when most of the apple store wont be stupid iPod only windows users, being annoying. A gathering of hardcore mac heads. Im there~!

Im so gutted there aren't common Apple Stores here in the UK like there is in the US. Granted nthe Regent Street store is a corker!! But I'm nowhere near it! Unfortunately the next nearest one due (Birmingham, Bullring) is not open yet so I can't check out the event. It would be so cool and I'm so excited, even though I can't go!!! Especially with hte freebies and possible door prizes of hardware!! (wipes mouth!) If anyone gets any prizes and doesnt want them please send them my way!! lol!! ;)

Also...daft question some of you may thing, but is anyone gonna be taking some pictures of their local event or something?? Because if you are I'd love to see them!! :D

Can't wait til I get my Mac with Tiger!! Just waiting for it to be preinstalled!

Im going equpid with an 8meg olympus, taking pictures in raw. Ill post a link on this thread after the event.
 
Contest Rules Anyone?

Does anyone have a good idea on the contest rules, such as is it one PowerBook worldwide, US wide, or per store? Same question for iPods, etc?
I have Tiger pre-ordered, so it will be here on 4/29. Our closest Apple Store is a 2-hour drive. I'm wondering if it's worth the drive, and then the wait in line, followed by the drive home?
 
Apple store parties

I've never been to one of these parties, but I hope that they have the new iMacs available so I can finaly have a Mac. I live within 20 minutes of 3 Apple Stores and within 1 hour of 9 Apple Stores all togerther in the Bay Area. Which one to go to? :rolleyes: San Francisco should have the biggest party. :D
 
That's a bit stupid mate

You know what guys?

I have been using Mac OX 10.4 tiger for a week now.

It's cool. I like it.

hmmm..

The fact that you have admitted that means you either have been a Tiger tester or you have an illegal copy of Tiger.

It is not a very good idea to make posts like this mate.

Watch out for Apple security - they may turn up at your doorstep one day.....

Who's planning to get to their store so early that they are sure to be first in line, for no other reason than to be the geekiest one there?
 
Position is relative

Sucks to live no closer than 2 hours on PLANE to an Apple Store.

Sucks to live with an hour of 3 Apple store. Can't decide which to go too. :D
 
Well I won't be going to an apple store.......don't live in a country with one :eek:

But can't wait for Tiger to come out though :rolleyes:

I won't be going to either one - I have a life....

I'm sorry, but does anyone else find the irony of that statement just a little bit funny?

I, on the other hand, will admit to having not much of a life at this time (see this post for why) and will enjoy a night of meeting with my fellow Mac aficionados to discuss common interests and demos of the latest and greatest software tools that will make our professional (and personal) lives that much easier. Plus, 10% off. That'd be the biggie for me. Beats another night of drunken karaoke and sappy, depressing love songs.

I'll save that for Saturday night. ;)

Same here :( . The closest Apple Store to me is in Tokyo
 
In addition to the firewire target mode method, you should be able to install Tiger from an external DVD drive, as well.

if i order tiger online, does it mean i cant participate in the release event?

do i have to buy tiger from the store on that to attend?
Click to expand...

you can attend even if you buy nothing. they want to get you in and try to lure you to buy something, which they can't do if they close the doors to those who don't buy tiger just to get in...
 
Greece ???

Since the announcement of Tiger Greece has been removed from the www.apple.com/euro site.

There was never an official Apple store website for Greece but now there’s nothing. The funny thing here is that in Athens “rainbow computer” (the greek apple store) has at least two show rooms, they look like Apple stores but you can’t buy anything there!

If you want something they call a reseller and tell you where to go.

I want to get Tiger as soon as it comes out, does anyone now if buy from Amazon, will they ship to Greece?

FYA, Well, you'll just have to try Amazon.com and see. I would recommend upgraded shipping of some kind, or you would wait forever. I ordered from Amazon Japan once, and I'm in the USA, so you might be able to order from the U.S. Amazon, or even the UK Amazon.

I went to the Regent Street Store opening as well, was about 117 in line, i doubt the line will be as big for tiger though.
