    Unbelievable!

    If I purchased a new Mac at this point (over 1.5 months since 10.3 was released) and didn't get Panther PRE-INSTALLED, I'd be livid. At the very least, the lazy SOBs should just throw Panther CDs in every box where they're not (!) sure which OS is installed. Inexcusable.

    okay... calming down... my new Mac purchase is still months away.

    Calm down buddy

    The new ones have Panther on them. They have since it came out. This is about people who bought G5s before Panther, since they were complaining about the promised performance requiring 10.3.

    Re: Calm down buddy

    Many Macs are sitting in the warehouse and are shipped without the disks. That's why it is important to have this up to date program. Then again some people might think that they can probably save money and trouble upgrading to Panther later by paying full price for it once the bugs that bug them have been worked out.

    huh?

    since when does it cost 20 dollars to ship a box that is not even 1 pound? sounds to me more like "you must pay us 15 dollars to get it 'free' then well ship it for 5 bucks". but they are speedy at it though. i live right by apple so s*** gets here REAL fast.
