I got my copy of Tiger @ 6pm today Sydney tiime got back home and installed it on my PB proud to say this is my 1st post using 10.4 Tiger.

mmmmm!!!!! i think i scared away my chances of receiving it today, by wanting it so much! - especially 'cause an email said they were committed to getting it to me today! (well, now yesterday here).

i was wanting so much for the magical australia post van to pay me a visit... but no.
 
Same Problems with Amazon?

Anybody having similar problems with Amazon orders that were supposed to arrive today? I just got this bizarre email from them after asking what was up...

the top of most pages of our store or by following this link:

Well...it is official. My copy of Tiger will not be arriving until Monday. I would like to say that I am never going to order from Apple online again. Unfortunately, that is the only way to get the student discount on software. I just wish the company wouldn't guarantee delivery unless it was going to meet it.

Lots of copies arriving

We took delivery of 500 copies of Tiger today, quite unexpected.

Turns out that the copies we received had DVD AND CD copies... interesting.

500 copies came delivered in 50 boxes! It took us two hours to break everything down.
 
my copy, ordered 5 minutes after the apple store online re-opened with tiger in it, isn't even "preparing"... its still "processing".

i'm pissed, but hope ya'll who have it have a fun weekend.
 
Does NOT work with Remote Desktop 1.x

After installing 10.4, I started testing existing software on my PowerBook G4 17".

Apple's "Remote Desktop" 1.2.4 does NOT work.

MUST upgrade to 2.x for operation. (Bummer).

:(

I am waiting too, I saw a FedEx truck going near my house but it didn't stop here.

Same here. A supervisor at Apple said they have a logistics team working with FedEx to ensure delivery today. They're a bunch of lying mother****ers.

yeah, apple's shipping logistics team is about as effective as.. well... they're ineffective.

maybe they're ensuring delivery for some by not even preparing packages for shipment that were ordered on the 12th by other people.
 
Still Processing!!

Anybody else that ordered Tiger via the Up-To-Date program still showing "Processing Order" on their Apple Order Status page? I placed my order on the 12th but the estimated ship date hasn't changed from "On or before 4/29/05" since then!! :(
 
Speed

Well, now that some of you have gotten Tiger, tell me someone; do you notice ANY performance boosts in OpenGL apps, er, games?

I ordered two up-to-date copies. Both arrived today. Both ordered on 23rd April.
