Apple Releasing Leopard Next Friday!!!

[Buckeye Jack]

I'll be in Columbus in 2 weeks, I'll probably just pick it up at the Apple store. Sucks though, now I have a G4 PB and an Intel Mini. Anyone know if it's coming with both versions or if you have to buy both versions?

if you're price is the same, pre-order from Apple -- it'll arrive on the 26th OR SOONER (I've seen it happen over the years).

Oh, let me say then that Leopard looks good and Apple is to be commended for keeping the prices reasonable, unlike Gates & Co.'s latest fiasco.

Everyone who pre-ordered should have theirs by 10:30a.m. If you're not going to be home, be sure to go to the Apple website and download the signature authorization form for FedEx to leave it.

[The Professor]

Anyone get it yet??? I'm waiting feverishly for my department tech person to call. I *really* hope it comes in today....

(with my luck, they f'ed up the order)

[King James]

Mine will show up while I'm at school.... can't wait to get home and give it a shot!

I got mine YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ill post a review as soon as it finishes upgrading and I toy with it a bit.

[The Professor]

Installing right now. For people new to Macs, here's my recommendation:

Don't "upgrade." Given the way that the OS is structured, there's no real reason to use the "upgrade" as opposed to the "archive and install." Archive and install will preserve everything, tuck away the old system files (but not delete until you drag them into the trash), and restore all your user files and preferences -- all automatically. Anyway, my recommendation is either the "archive and install" or (if you like the smell of a new automobile) "clean install." Just note that the "clean install" option will totally wipe your hard drive clean; so anything you've neglected to backup will be lost forever.

I'm doing an "archive and install" on my MacBook right now....
