Re: New 15" PB and Panther in UK
Call them, and say that you want it with Panther as that is the current OS. If they can't ship you a PowerBook with a Panther OS system disc, see if they'll give you a free upgrade disc.... after all, it's not your fault if the computers are shipping with an 'old' OS now is it....
Apple UK should use their discretion, and if they can't give you an answer, or don't want to play ball, then tell them you don't want to order yet then...

Hi all,
On the point of ordering the new 15"PB online at the Applestore here in the UK. I assumed it would come with Panther but both the UK and the US Apple site specify Jaguar as the OS.
Does anyone here know???
many thanks

This is excellent advice. I second it.
