Apple Announces Apple Store Tiger Festivities for Friday
by , 8:55 AM EDT, April 28th, 2005
In case you've been under a rock for the last few weeks, Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" will be released Friday, April 29th, 2005. Apple Computer announced Thursday the traditional Apple Store (and VAR) festivities for such a release, beginning tomorrow at 6:00 PM. Tiger goes on sale at that time, and the company will be hosting "Tiger World Premiere" events from 6:00 PM to midnight. These events will include workshops and hands-on demonstrations of Tiger's features, plus giveaways at every store, and a chance to win a PowerBook G4, iPod, and more.
For an Apple Store near you, visit Apple's retail Web site. For an Apple-authorized VAR, check your local Yellow Pages.
Like all of the point updates for Mac OS X, Tiger will be priced at US$129, with a Family Pack of 5-licenses available for $199.
The Server version of Tiger will be priced at $499 for a 10-client version, and $999 for an unlimited-client version.
Apple is offering free upgrades to Tiger (with a shipping and handling fee of $9.95) for customers who purchased a new Mac on or after April 12, 2005. You can find details on that program at Apple's Up-to-Date Web page.
You can also order Tiger from the Apple Store, and Amazon is offering it for $94.88.

I went to the Panther launch, at the Costa Mesa, CA store, and it was a madhouse. There was a line out the door, that ran at least 100 feet. Then, again, I think I will just wait until lunch time, on Saturday, and go pick up my copy. Then the store will just be packed, and no longer completely overrun. I just hope they still have a copy left, for me.

I'll be downtown in Chicago this afternoon, so I'll make sure to get a look at what the N. Mich. Ave. store has in store for people tomorrow at 6. I mean, what better timing? Everyone that worked on Friday can just stay downtown: leave work, have a nice dinner, then cram into the Apple Store!

...
turns out they didn't have too much set up that I could see beyond little stacks of single-page pamphlets advertising the release of Tiger on most of the display tables.
what I did see of interest though, was some lady spill her Starbucks all over a Shuffle ... god rest its soul
