To Jaguar or not to Jaguar?

if you're a student you must have a least one teacher. Have them order it, give them the cash and then give you the box.

It's probably a true story that happened to a friend of a friend of a friend of mine.

I'm in favour of getting Steve's copy. It's right there upon his desk. It's educational to use the teacher's copy as well

Well assuming there will be no special price less than my $64.50 price, I happily ordered it today. Can't wait.

Someone takes life too serious there, we wont mention names.. Anyhow, it is has a lot of great features and the performance is much better than 10.1.5. Much more responsive.

Yeah... i really want it.. im just 25 dollars away from getting it! It has to be out of my own money because my dad just bought me 10.1 in April or May. So... ill ttyl!

I would love to get Jaguar, too...

but CaramelApple (good name, btw), aren't your folks just a touch irked that they paid for 10.1.5 in April or May, & now, if not for your student status, would have had to pay full upgrade price?

I purchased a new iMac mid-May (gee, if I knew that a 17" flat-screen with improved video card was just around the corner, I would have waited!), and I have read some forums in other places where people are really peeved at the upgrade price.

I think it is fair, for those upgrading from OS 9. But I would like to have seen a sliding scale. People who purchased new Macs in the last 3 months should surely have a hugely-discounted price, as should people who purchased OS X in the last 6 months. People who purchased Macs in last 3 to 6 months should pay somewhat more, as should those who purchased OS X more than 6 months ago.

There is now a petition underway for people who want to protest Jaguar's cost. It is a shame that it is poorly worded, & that there are spelling & grammatical errors, but try to overlook that... Here it is: Jaguar petition

I agree totally! I think that people who have recently purchased a new Mac or upgrade should get a discount. I am buying the upgrade edu prcie so its a bit better. Another thing that kinda just shows my bad luck is that i just got an iPod in early June (5GB) for 399. now its 299! ahhh! geez... what bad luck i have...

Much Love,

This one's a no-brainer. Jaguar makes OS X primetime (and not 10.1, as Steve would have had us believe). Sure, 10.1 is usable on my bondi iMac, but this baby's definitely getting an upgrade.

I'm amazed how far they can take the original iMacs these days. 500MHz g4 isn't bad for an original imac! or add a g3 and firewire ... tough call, that one.
