Tiger orders from PCMall (MacMall) already in customers' hands
· Troubleshooting · 50 posts · Apr 22, 2005 View original thread ↗
Dammit.

If I had ordered from MacMall, then Apple would have been the one shipping early.

Does this mean we can openly discuss Tiger features and details without getting our threads locked?
Someone at PCMall is going to be in a lot of trouble over this.

Well, according to your front page, Apple is shipping Tiger too already, to arrive on Monday (Apr. 25th).

Well, I guess the answer should be yes then.
I feel a "Trump" is about to happen to somebody at PCMall...


Wow. I wonder how the hell that happened. Someone got the date wrong.

Maybe they were for "Time" magazine on the side?

Like I already said, Apple is already shipping it too, not just MacMall (and others).
Over at dpreview.com someone received their order from ClubMac and has posted pics. Apparently Tiger comes with a demo version of iWork.

To stores, maybe, but you can bet they won't be shipping to users yet.
Actually, the front page states (quoted):

"Expected to be officially launched on April 29th, one MacNN reader forwarded shipment confirmation from the Apple Store. The documents showed a delivery date of April 25 via Fedex Ground--well ahead of the official release date next week (orders with expedited shipping may have earlier delivery dates)."

To me that means home users.
Nice... I'm glad to see it early and not late.

Too bad I'm away this weekend.
Maybe it's got something to do with Tiger showing up on warez sites.

Hope the quicker deliveries are worldwide! Mmmm!!!!

Though I bet that spoils the official release date and launch parties somewhat :/
Does this mean we can have support threads about it now?

That's what I asked, and so far, the mods are being strangely quiet.

Well I didn't ask one through PM and he wasn't sure. He said when the sticky disappears we could go hog wild though.
I just got mine this morning...I ordered it the day it was announced and opted for the overnight priority shipping. I will be installing right after I type this.

Happy, happy, joy, joy...

MacMall...

Installation half way through...so far so good.
CAS, are you going to be the first one to confirm the build number?

No, piracy did a few weeks back actually.
Man, and I was waiting for the 10.4 party at the Mall of America. How lame.

Well duh, the problem is not everyone believes him as he doesn't have a retail DVD in his hands.

So then people would believe somebody else who supposedly has the retail copy in hand already? Maybe we need DNA evidence/30-page photo album to support that somebody does indeed have the actual retail DVD in hand...
So can you confirm if iWork demo is included in the box as was reported on another forum?
So its confirmed, some people do have their copies. Lucky them - god knows how long i'll have to wait until I get mine through the adc mailing.

Glad they've decided to include an iWork 05 trial version.
72% printer drivers installing...estimated time to finish is 29 minutes...

In the mean time...check out this thread...pics and everything....not mine (don't have camera
Apparently the NDA doesn't officially lift until the 29th. Mind you, NDA or not, there is good reason now to allow support threads, since end users who have it in hand aren't under NDA.
