Mac OS X Tiger Arriving

[Mac_Freak]

Really! I really expected to see it arrive in Newark at around midnight. I think I'll call FedEx

Newark?! Damn, I live 5 min from JFK Airport. If its on the plane, the they might save a hassle of driving it here and just drop it off the plane, they should be able to hit me yard, don't you think so guys?

Tiger De Mayo

I ordered mine from Amazon on March 25. I guess saving 35 bucks seemed like a good idea at the time. I just checked the status and Amazon is estimating delivery Thursday, May 5th. Now if I was mexican this would be a nice treat for Cinco De Mayo but I'm not and I want my damn Tiger now like all you gringos.

You couldn't have ordered it from apple on the 8th. They didn't start taking orders until the 12th...

I want Tiger now

Ops, sorry... Well I know that I ordered it the day after they took preorders. Should have been the 13th then.

I'm in Brooklyn but generally packages go through Newark and then to Maspeth for delivery (about 2 miles from me). Just hope it comes early tomorrow so I can make it to the Soho store.

My friend works there at the FedEx Maspeth ditribution. He loads all the packages, maybe I didn't say "Hi" to him and this is his revange.

Man, this is really sleazy of Apple...keeping my order status at "On or Before 4/28" until midday 4/28, and then changing it to 5/3. What a bunch of crap.

I'm going to be sitting in my office all day Saturday with nothing to do. I thought I'd be installing Tiger on my 3 Macs, but now I'll just have to sit here with my thumb up my you know what.

 

[Kingsnapped]

Just got mine. Called in sick for work for the first time ever.

wootage.

high school EDU discount

if it going to be a hassel i will just buy it for full price

It's actually really easy.

Go to apple.com, click store. in the right column click "education". Under "Shop for yourself", click "Find your K-12 school". On the next page, enter your zipcode and select your school.

Then order Tiger

Mine too says on or before 4/28/05...but with 2 day shipping. I'm disappointed in Apple, I really wanted to get it tomorrow, I guess the preorder was not worth it.

well, what does it say on your FedEx tracking page?

 

[MattG]

I think he's saying it hasn't shipped yet...there is no FedEx tracking page.

Yes and Yes!

Just make sure you buy all the RAM you can. OS X loves it.

Best places in the UK are Crucial and Orca.

So are you saying that you never got email from Apple or a FedEx number... it just showed up at your house? If so, this could be good news for those of us left out in the cold!

I got the e-mail and Fedex tracking number from Apple at 3:30pm yesterday. I am surprised it showed up already today as there wasn't anyone home to accept it. I'm hoping to pick it up tonight after work.

I'd worry more about getting the best video card to boot. Cuz, you can get RAM any where.

IT DIDN'T SAY THAT THIS MORNING!

Dude That Sucks! Mine was delivered to Naples this morning.

 

[nesbitt_a]

Up-to-date just shipped

Seems like up-to-date versions of tiger still aint shipping! Me = sad

My Tiger up-to-date order has just shipped. Woot! Fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow.

I wonder if it has anything to do with my order being educational.

You live in Fort Lauderdale and THIS is the first day you've called in sick?

Me thinks you need to spend a January in Minnesota. Then maybe something other than an OS upgrade could persuade you to call in sick more often!

 

[scarletbiro]

Cut it out already

Will you guys stop power-reloading your order tracking pages for a second so that I can check my own status once already? Sheez. I keep getting a busy message from Apple.
