According the FedEx tracking site, my copy is on the truck and should arrive today. Yeah!

I just hope I'm still in the office when it arrives! It will be a GRRRREAT! weekend!

FedEx says mine will be here tomorrow afternoon by 4:30 PM...not too shabby, especially since our FedEx guy arrives by 10:00 AM every day. Needless to say, I will be bringing my PB to work with me so I can install it.

Got mine today at 1:00 Irish time. Just backed up every thing and about to sign off on Panther. Get this. It shiped yesterday from Nuneaton, West midlands, UK. Was in Liege, Belgium at 1.58 am. In Dublin by mid morning. Box and internal booklets printed and packaged in Ireland. Go figure!

Bought the Family Pack from Amazon for the $50 Rebate - I'm still paying for 2 of the 5 Macs in the family. With the free shipping I'll probably get it after 4.1 is available. At least I'll be able to keep an eye on how things are going and see if there are any bumps. And, yes Bryan, I did order through the TMO link.

I got mine 10 am this morning in Saint Paul, Minnesota!

I pre ordered on the 12th (day it was introduced), but I havent got a shipping confermation. Boy Apple will get my mouth of it if I dont recieve it TOMMROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered my Tiger copy on the 12th as well with the student discount, and it has been 'preparing for shipment' for about 3 days now...obviously im not getting it tomorrow but i better get it by saturday!!

So those of you who said you got theirs today, have you installed it yet?

Got it today. Installed it. Played a little. Seems good. Nothing super earth shattering to me yet, but I'm just getting started. Dashboard is nice, and spotlight says it needs 77 hours to index my machine. Of course, I do have about 700 Gigs of hard drives hooked up to it.

Just moved into my new house (hence my being gone for a long time) and I'll take it home to install and play with there over the weekend.

i also ordered it the day it was announced, and it still hasn't shipped...

c'mon apple.

no problems to report except it seems to run a little slower on my G5. Maybe it's just me. But it is one cool OS!!

In The Netherlands we have reports of people receiving their pre-ordered Tigers all week. Some distributors seemingly just want to get rid of all those silly boxes lying around, regardless of any instructions from Apple.....

Looks good, feels good. Just a few Safari enhancements that have stopped working. I'll have to wait for Tiger compatible versions of those to be released in the next few weeks.

I did a Nuke 'n Pave after which the transition of my old configuration and extra software was flawless.

I received an email from Apple today stating my OS would arrive by Friday 4/29/05 via Fed-Ex. It came today @ 3:00p.m. I'm in Gaithersburg, MD

I like getting my Tiger Direct from Apple. It arrives tomorrow at 4:30. Yay!

I preordered last week because when I called the Apple Store directly to ask about when it would ship in the new machines and was told that most people that will wait inline on Friday will only get a certificate for pick up at a later date. Only certain stores and not many will get the physical packages for Friday.

So . . . I ordered. If this proves untrue, oh well, I'll get it an hour and a half, at least, earlier and won't have to stand inline in the snow and cold, even though there is a Starbucks right across from my local Apple Store. That's how I got Panther, I stopped off for a Carmel Frappacino and then found myself inline. Not this year.

Now I can go and see Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and be back just in time for Tiger to arrive. Cooul.

Apple has new bugs in store for Mac Zombies who can't wait to tell Apple what new kernel panics hit them this time. Early shipping of Tiger will give Apple a head start in fixing the widespread bugs. Then Apple can save those bug fixes for future OS releases which they will charge more money to Zombies.

Expect a dip in Tiger sales after potential switchers get scared after hearing early adopters' horror stories.

I unfortunately got this instead at 6:50 AM EST !

Thank you FedEx man!

I have to run to class and then go out with the rents, so I'll be staying in on a Friday night and installing this evening

crappy camera phone pic:

i pre ordered Tiger a long time ago... still no clue as to where it might be.. on friday the tracking thing said it was getting ready to ship, which is already a huge disappointment.. What is the point of pre-order, i couldve WALKED to the nearest store that sells apple products which is some 100km from where i live, and still have it sooner than this..

Apple always likes to surprise me with their shipping methods. Last time the shipping company left our ipod mini infront of our door and just singed the paper themselves... very professional?

Is it possible to track, Australian Apple Store orders once they've been shipped?
