it's in the apple's home now

So now that they have announced a shipping date, when does an NDA officially lapse, when the product ships?

The real sad thing is that it looks like there will be no CoreImage for my iBook's Radeon 9200...

Hum.. Dual G5 or 17" PB??

Don't forget the Amazon discout for those of us who aren't students: Amazon order page. It's US$35 off the single seat and US$50 off the family pack.

I can't find the Family Pack yet to order it tho'.

Very cool, indeed.

edit--upon closer reading I found my answer.

Looks cool, but doesn't work (yet).

Based on what I've been reading (and who knows if that's all accurate), it looks like the Pismo exclusion was an oversight as it not only has Firewire, but the requisite DVD ROM drive to install (even though you can order a CD version of Tiger). I'd bet that if the iBook SE is supported, Pismo is too.

Meow.

Does this mean it will be placed on ADC for download now?

And hence other places

So... What if you tried to place the order on April 11, but the online store couldn't verify your Visa card (for some reason - it just gave an 'unknown error occurred' error), and you called Apple, and they then entered the order in manually as a bank transfer order, telling you to wait for an e-mail from them today (April 12) that would then tell you whether the previous order went through after all, so you'd cancel the transfer order, or whether it didn't go through, so you'd have to pay the transfer order and cancel/ignore the Visa order? What then? Does that count as April 11 or April 12? In other words, does "purchased" mean that the order is entered into the system, or that you pay for the Mac?

I'm really psyched about this, but dammit I hope my order counts as April 12, not April 11!!!

ordered. $69 what a deal!

i can't wait.

Just call them and tell them that you want to cancel your order and place a new order for the same items. It will cost you nothing to do that and you will be able to order a Tiger update for a much reduced price !

Heh, you're too fast for me, I was just going to edit my previous post

I just talked to the guy who's going to send me the e-mail (wanted to make sure he hadn't forgotten, and figured I should call now to be more or less sure to get a hold of him before he goes home). Turns out "purchase" means when the money goes through, and since it looks like it's going to be the bank transfer way, that won't be till in a couple of days.

So yes, I get my new Tiger for cheap

Just placed my order, whee!

Meow.

Argh! I'll be in Apple Training for Panther Server the day of the release. Do I chance it at the Apple Store in Austin and try to score some swag or just preorder? Hmmm.

Glad all the speculation is over with....

I wonder when student devs will get their copy? My guess is along with the May mailer.

That's worth $150.00 right there. Well not really, but that's slick. Boo-hoo for the "new" Blueberry iMac 350 I just picked up (no Firewire) but it'll live on with 10.3 just fine, I suppose.

This is going to be a LONGGGGG 2.5 weeks...
