Panther (10.3) Pricing?

I don't think it's odd at all, considering us G5 owners just forked out a lot of cash (read: my entire income for this quarter), as long as waiting for MONTHS, plus putting our faith in a rev 1 product... yep, I reckon we deserve it.

My 0.02.

I just spent over $2700 on a new 15" Powerbook G4 just a week ago. I think I deserve it as well.

I waited just as long for my PowerBook and forked out just as much cash as a PowerMac user, though. Wouldn't it be reasonable that I'd deserve a free upgrade just as much as you?
 
I certainly hope there's a grace period. My wife and I just added an iMac less than 2 weeks ago to our family and I will be PISSED if Apple doesn't give us the upgrade.
 
I ordered my new PowerBook on September 16. I tried entering my serial number and purchase date in the upgrade (Up To Date) page and it worked. It's not free, but it's only $20. That's good enough for me, I was already willing to pay the $70 or whatever for the educational discount.

I already got my confirmation too (I think it was the confirmation)

That piece of information just made my day considering I bought the same product on the same exact day. Except I have not even recieved the powerbook yet...
 
Yep. I too was able to get the $20 up-to-date thingy for my PB that I got on the 17th :D now I gotta go cancle my other educational discount order :p

Ditto - waited a long time for my new 15" PB - I would have prehaps even been prepared to wait until Panther was pre-installed if it wasn't for the fact I HAD to get a new computer at the time - don't even ask what I had to pay down here in Australia ...

Doesn't Apple usually give us a 30 day grace period?

I couldn't remember, and Apple had already removed all info from the last Mac OS Up-to-Date program when I looked.

The last one is probably still on the site, here, but I'm too lazy to search.

But Apple does make treat the pre-Announcement dog & pony show different than the actual "New OS is shipping On x Day" announcement.
 
Why don't we just pay $10 a month ($5 for students) to get a subscription to Mac OS X Update and they can give us new features as soon as they invent them instead of putting everything in big releases like Panther?
 
Works for me

I bought a 15" 1.25Ghz powerbook at an Apple store on 9.17.03.

I logged in on update with this date and my s/n.

I got the update for $19.95 plus tax and $7.00 for 2 day shipping.

Thanks Apple and thanks to you who borught it to my attention
