Lee, I was at the Tiger launch tonight at the Glendale Galleria and I was also bummed. Stood in a long line for an hour. Got my scratch off card. Yeah, one measly iTunes song. I have been to other launches and scored some cool swag. Not tonight. No shirts. No posters. Nada.
I did pick up Tiger, knowing full well it would be full retail. Fry's was selling it tonight for $109. I also got a new case for my Shuffle. Very disappointed in the whole thing. Oh well. As I was standing in line I thought, you don't see people standing in lines like this for the latest Windows OS!
I haven't installed it yet. Trying to figure out if I want to go clean install or archive and install. My PowerMac G5 is only 2 months old and I just did a clean install of 10.3 on my TiBook. The only thing holding me back from a clean install is that Quark limits the number of times you can install your software on a computer. After the limit you need to call Quark for permission to install it again. Don't want to go through that.
