Hi, my name is David S. Welcome to Apple!
David S: How may I help you today?
You: I was wondering if you know when an Imac can be purchased and have Leopard pre-installed?
David S: All iMacs shipped from this point on should have Leopard pre-installed.
You: Oh. I was under the impression that there would be drop-in discs thrown in???
David S: They were initially, that's correct.
You: But now they are shipping with it pre-installed?? Sorry I just want to be sure before I order. Is there anyway to be sure??
David S: That's correct, it will be pre-installed.
You: Ok thank you.
David S: No Problem!
David S: Did you have any questions about your iMac?
David S: Or have you been waiting for awhile for this?
You: No, that was it actually. Thank you so much.
David S: I should also note..
David S: That it's pre-installed on units from the online store..
David S: Not the retail stores or third party vendors, they may still have drop in disks at those locations.
You: Right. My retail store it would probably be 3-4 weeks before they get the pre-installed ones in.
David S: Yes, that's probably correct.
David S: Okay, if you need anything else, feel free to give us a chat
You: Thanks again. I appreciate it.
David S: No Problem!
David S: I hope you have a great day!
