Mine says "Running." Love your avatar, though! :)

Not of which I'm aware. I'm not sure there has been much enthusiasm from Real for Mac OS at all lately - much less Mac OS X which would force them to do a re-write.

Why? Complaining is what we Apple faithful do best. ;) The vast majority of complaints I've heard have been fairly muted. They basically are postings from people who are upset that this was handled badly. It wasn't a complete fiasco, but it wasn't handled well by Apple either. In the...

How about a section just for comments about Apple as a company. It might be a good way to separate the gripes about Apple's Mac OS X upgrade delivery fiasco from Mac OS X itself.

I live in a city where Apple has a pretty strong business presence. I had to "import" my copy from a city four hours away. If you gave the pony express as much time and as many resources as Apple had this upgrade would have been distributed more effectively. The fact that Apple couldn't is a...

I don't know what Apple's distro agreement is, and I'm certainly not a lawyer, but I think the worst case scenario would be for macosx.com to receive a "cease and desist" letter. Even if there is such a restriction in the user agreement, most likely Apple won't bother enforcing it since they so...

I called my parents who live about 220 miles away to see if their CompUSA Express had copies. It did. Serendipitously, a friend of the family was just about to leave their house and come back to where I live! Three and one half hours later, I had the upgrade in my hands. 10.1 is quite...

I called back the Fry's here and asked if any copies arrived. They asked me if I purchased my copy of X from Fry's. After I said I hadn't they paused and said an "Apple person" was outside the store earlier handing them out to people who needed the upgrade. He wouldn't confirm if this person...

Can someone do a better job than Apple at distribution and provide those of us with neglected Apple retailers a disc image of the 10.1 upgrade CD? Thanks,

Is this in Austin?

No one in Austin seems to be distributing it. There was a roomful of ticked off Apple users at Fry's this morning and none of the other local Apple retailers have it either.

At least the one in Austin does. They said they would have "an exponential number" of Mac OS X upgrades available when they opened this morning. They had NONE! I guess that exponent could be zero to the power of zero. :/ Has anyone else actually picked one up this morning? Care to make a...

I just let Apple know. I'm still really looking forward to 10.1, but it seems sad that Apple isn't supporting early adopters with DVD hardware in Mac OS X yet. Let's hope that changes soon. Maybe someone could start a virtual petition. If anyone can share some experience setting this...

If it's the full install (as the initial poster said), that's not free. Only the upgrade that depends on you already having 10.0.x installed on your hard drive is being given away free.

I'd love a Lombard powerbook. I own a Blue and White G3 (1st generation). Any news on that hardware?

Oh <b>that's</b> legal... :p (Referring to a since-removed message requesting a disc image for posting to a Carracho server. The user was thinking this was an upgrade and not a full version.)

I have one of those older machines. To what hack are you referring?

walrusjb, What bugs are you running into? I'm still waiting for my copy of the upgrade disc (camping out at Fry's tomorrow :) ) and wanted to know if there are any show-stoppers in the build. BTW: Can anyone with 10.1 final installed confirm that hardware-based DVD isn't supported. If...

You heard him, folks. He's afraid and we need to start bombing. Er... or something like that. :)
