Overnight merch
Maybe the Ovenighters will put up a 'Coming July 19' style teaser poster, along with all of the other merchandising, then just swap those posters for an 'Out Now' variation on the day?

aww, i had no college today i was hoping to have the whole day to drool at the eye candy on the 27" beast of a mac. Oh well, look on the bright side, they have more time to fix hem bugss.
Lots of individuals and small businesses used AppleWorks. The thing is Apple didn't give AppleWorks users a clear upgrade path. iWork is good, but it won't open all AppleWorks files. So there was no way to *upgrade* AppleWorks- only to switch to different software- be it iWork, the (in)famous MS Office, or otherwise.
It's the reason I won't make the mistake of trusting Apple in supporting their own formats again. Trouble is it's hard finding a good, Mac-like word processor. OpenOffice is great in price and features, but throws all Mac aesthetics and conventions out the window. That's why I still use Pages, though I have no doubt Apple will one day abandon those formats too. Maybe by that time I'll have perfected my batch conversion workflow.
Sorry the Closed Apple key was cooler
Indeed. I always liked the "open-Apple", "closed-Apple" keys from back in the Apple II days. Wikipedia says they were removed because Jobs considered it an overuse of the logo, thus replacing it with the "Saint John's Arms" symbol. Though it came back later on (and has now gone again). Remember the outcry when Apple tried to remove the Apple menu in the Mac OS X Public beta?
I have a mid2009 MBP with 2.53 C2D and have the same problem. May be it is spotlight cache issue?
Get the "S".... you'll love it!
Or better still the new WRC 4x4 Oh yeah!!!

Delay, Delay, Delay. Other than ipod media events, it's so annoying for them to not announce hard dates, let alone waiting mid-taild end of a given month to do anything always
They never do. Apple doesn't care about business users, no matter how much they try to pretend they do. No clear roadmap, secrecy, unannounced EOLs with no migration paths available, the list goes on...
Someone doesn't know about NeoOffice
(basically, a Mac aesthetics and conventions port of OpenOffice) :

well then
it breaks my heart
cz I will of by the end of July(going to the country side for a few months)
with this slow internet connection on my country it will take 2-3 days to download it(damn)
I hope they will release it sooner
mybe this friday
or next tuesday
Batch export to PDF and use something else for new documents. I worked in law office and most of the time you don't need to go back to an old document to edit anyways. Old documents that are sent are archived and mostly used as templates for new stuff anyways.
[Edit:] It is almost criminal to be using AppleWorks in 2011.
True, but my organisation uses DFS heavily, and is eager to upgrade to Lion so that Mac users can actually get into DFS shares for the first time.

I do, but performance was slow last I checked and although nicer looking than OpenOffice, the UI didn't much impress me either. Still, a nicer alternative, I agree.
Boooo! I need something to take my redneck agression out on...OS upgrades give me a reason to drink heavily.
I'm not sure how poor planning on your dad's part is Apple's fault. If you run a law office (or any kind of professional business) then you make damn well sure that whatever file format you save your documents in is well supported universally.
That said there are plenty of work arounds to convert AppleWorks docs to Word. Do a Google search. You can write an Automator script to do all the heavy lifting -- make sure you have good back ups of the files on separate media first. Then stick w/ Word.
Oh, that is the final straw. I am switching to Windows 7.
You should do its much better than OS X. 400million users cant be wrong.
OK, so how many times has everyone clicked on the App Store icon so far today to check? I think I am up to 5...

I would think they would wait until after next Tuesday financials. Then if any glitches with downloads they wouldn't be beat up over it. Betting they would rather discuss another stellar quarter and excitement for lion, etc.
