I can wait. Glad it’s finally out. In the meantime, my Windows PC and my Macs work just the same as they did yesterday and the day before that.

The thing I excited about… I hope Apple is going to update their PM line to go along with the Tiger release. Been waiting on that purchase for a while now.

I’m in for one of those Amazon pre-orders – I hope they don’t have a backorder problem.

Won’t be buying Tiger. Nope. Not gonna do it.

I will however buy a new Mac that has Tiger pre-loaded. Especially if Apple releases a Powerbook 17HD at NAB.

Neil.. it’s software…

Thurrott and his cronies love to crow about how Apple always has supply problems.. when MS never does.. when it comes to software, you hear about Development Delays, Features being cut, semi-releases… this kind of thing..

Software is never backlogged.. unless MAYBE you’re talking about something like GTA:San Andreas selling out in the first week

April 1st is Apple’s B-day. An announcement would be a nice way to celebrate.
