Son of a...!! man... im gonna have to buy another HD to install this on... not like my current 6 externals are enough (almost 2TB total)... good grief...
I'll be @ the Willow Bend (Texas) store that day...!
I'm seriously going to run up and down my dorm hallways when Leopard is announced.
All of Colorado State University is going to hear me celebrate.

Carbon Copy Cloner does allow you to make an "image", but I am not sure it is an actual "image" composed of a single file, which would allow you to drop it on any of your existing drives.
When it came time to try Vista, I used Acronis to image my Windows XP partition and it shrunk 45GB down to a single 15GB file I could offload to an external drive. This was handy, because I wasn't too enamored of Vista (I have since come to prefer it to XP) so I booted from the Acronis CD and restored the image and I was back in business.
If CCC - or some other Mac app - offers this functionality, then that should make it easier.
Thats the million dollar question. About two years I started using it again...I was about to upgrade the OS but I figured I would wait till Leopard...I've been also told a number of times I couldn't go Tiger (Apple Empl., other sources).
In short: I'm lazy, cheap, and misinformed
I think I'm still going to hold out to see what happens with the MBP in 08
Nothing is "Confirmed" only repeating the same old rumor I started last June.
I have freaking ultra anxiety syndrome over this late announcement. What made PR decide to wait so long this time round? Is Steve yanking our chain?
Well, let's just hope you are right about the MacPros too.
Besides those of us on this board, average users will not be in line for Leopard. I don't think there will be a problem picking up a copy on the 26th.
They're probably hoping for that same hype, but I'm just ordering a new iMac online to avoid any lines.
What about the Tiger launch? If anything there was less in that for the 'average users' than in Leopard, and the launch wasn't exactly queue-less...
i swear this launch better not entice more people to buy MBPs on 10/27 because that will the the fourth time i've gone home since school started to try and return and replace this MBP; everytime they go they've somehow sold out.
are they going to include Leopard upgrade discs into the boxes?

Can "Spaces" work with two monitors? Like, have 8 Spaces, rather than 4? Actually, no one can probably answer that yet.
i know the iPod Touches took ages to deliver...but will Leopard take as long if i order it on the 26th...after all..it is just a disc they have to print and ship
EDIT: i've just remembered that at 6pm on the 26th (well, the australian equivalent anyway) i'll be out celebrating end of semester ...ah well, leopard can wait

2PM Was Early Enough To Be First In Line In Palo Alto For Tiger
I got to the Palo Alto store about 2pm and was first in line. Not exactly queue full either.
But we'll have it in London while you're eating your lunch... or having your second coffee of the morning.
And here in Australia, we'll have it installed and running before y'all wake up !
Pre-Order Tomorrow And You Will Have It On The 26th
This is not like the iPod Touch at all. They are excellent at getting FedEx to deliver on the day of or even the day before launch. Why wait when you can pre-order tomorrow (I hope)?
