Going with my mom.... i convinced her to split the cost of 10.2 w/ me hahah
I was thinking of going to the Grove to check out the new two-story stores (um, they have elevators or something for people with a bad leg, right?)...
but don't know the area, a few friends are going with me, and we have NO idea what time we'll be back - so we decided to go to the one in Glendale that's closer to home instead. heh
Not going to buy anything myself tho, just take pictures and drool mostly...

OH MY GOD. I was just at the apple store at south cost plaza for the opening! IT WAS SO PACKED. there must have been a 2,000 people. MAN, it was a great experence seeing all those Orange County Mac users. but it sucked for there was NO WAY i was getting in before the 100 minuets were up. I guess i will just have to buy jag online like the rest of the world. anyone else have the same experence?
I just got back from my Apple Store, and I have to say I'm a bit pissed. I brought my receipt info from the eMac I bought almost 2 weeks ago, expecting to get Jaguar for $20. But after waiting in line for an hour and a half I find out that the only way to get Jaguar for the upgrade price is to order it online.
I guess I shouldn't have assumed, but I'm still pretty pissed that I wasted my night to get a mousepad.
I'm not necessarily pissed at Apple, but more at myself for not finding out beforehand. BTW, does anyone know where on the Apple site I can order the Jaguar upgrade for $20? I can't find it ANYWHERE!

I donÕt have an Apple store here in Pittsburgh, but I went to Mac Outfitters and they were having a little thing. They had free booze and everything (canÕt say not to free booze) What was neat, is that I brought my friend Cathy (a windows user who is very curious about my recent switch). We looked around at the computers and then watched the Jag and mac.com demonstrations. I think she will be picking up a TiBook soon. So I feel like a job well done.
The event was fun, but I could not stay for the give a ways :Õ( I had a lot of fun really, but I was sad because I could not get 10.2 yet. I am moving to Philly in the next few weeks and I need to be smart with my money. (But I might break down and get it anyways shame shame)
Also on a side note I have been sending my parents lot of info about Macs. Their PC of only 2 years has pretty much went to pot. Since I have switched and tell my mom about all this great stuff, she is thinking of getting an eMacÉ. YeahÉ..
I love when people find a product that really works for them.
The Apple event was great.

yes i ended up going to the grove in LA with my friend, and it was so packed the line went around the block.
Didn't get in until 12:10 am, but there were still shirts and the drawing was still open. When we left around 1 am it was deserted, lol.
Sooo many people!
While standing in line a car drove by and they were yelling "YOU CAN'T BEAT WINDOWS!!! YOU CAN'T BEAT WINDOWS!!"
People just chuckled but then this big black guy had to yell "BILL GATES SUCKS!!!!'
hahha

I was there for the grand opening, and now I was there for the Jaguar release! It was cool! heh
We got there around 9:30 and we where aprox #87-89 in line, the line thrippled in size at 10... no idea what the final count was before they opened the doors.
Friend of mine bought the Family-Pack 5 License since he has a Tower, iBook and his GF also has an iBook... my other friend and I where just there for the experience and to enter to win a Mac.
I played with the new Dual 1Ghz PowerMac with Jaguar, and you better belive I put it to test... Ran VPC with Windows 98SE, Painter, and iTunes with the visualizer running and was browsing the web with Windows (no other real apps in it).
iTunes never droped below 40 FPS nor did it ever skip a beat. VPC w/Win98SE ran smooth... much better than it ran on my System - but don't know if that's because it's almost twice the speed mines is, Quartz Extreme or both. heh
I want Jaguar NOW! Dangit!
Speaking of which, just checked the order for the Office computer - and OS X 10.2 SERVER is out of delivery today... Ack!
So we should get that on Monday.
Still no word on the actual Mac (for office) with my Jaguar (home edition - not Server).
*sigh*
I almost broke down and bought it last night! heh
