Apple may have decided to discontinue the Family Pack for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
“Apple last offered the Mac OS X Family Pack with the release of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. The $200 package included a license to install Panther on up to 5 Apple-labeled computers as long as those computers were located within the same household — a savings of over $500,” AppleInsider reports. “One AppleInsider reader recently conducted his own investigation into the fate of Apple’s Mac OS X Family Pack… As noted in an earlier report, online retailer Amazon.com recently began advertising a rebate on orders for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, which offers $35 off the cost of the single user license version and $50 off the Family Pack. However, within days of posting the rebate, Amazon disabled pre-orders for the Family Pack without explanation.”
“After contacting Amazon about the issue by e-mail, the reader received several odd responses. But a followup phone call to the retailer revealed that Amazon is unable to place orders with Apple for the Mac OS X 10.4 Family Pack, suggesting that it may have been discontinued,” AppleInsider reports.
