Being in Aus, I should have it installed b4 you wake up in the morning.



I can't wait for tomorrow night!

I ordered Leopard on the day it was available for pre-order... mine hasn't shipped yet. The Apple Store still says that my order is "prepared for shipment". Maybe the FedEx flight from Memphis (where both the FedEx hub and a big Apple distribution center are) needs a bit longer flight time to Boston than it does between Memphis and Fort Wayne?

Still, when the FedEx guy knocks on my door tomorrow, I'll be ready.

Double post but whatever - I'm psyched.

My Fed-EX tracking info says as follows:
Oct 25, 2007   5:46 AM    Picked up   SCHAUMBURG, IL
Estimated delivery     
Oct 26, 2007 by 10:30 AM

Looks like I will be installing 7 1/2 hours before you can get it at the Apple Store! SUCKERS!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh... mine just shipped from Apple's Memphis distribution center, via FedEx Express. Should be here by 10:30 AM tomorrow... can't wait!

Installing in the shop atm.

Just on a store machine for the time being. Stacks and gridview will open a finder window if prompted. Stay tuned for more...

Reece, I envy you . Mine will be here before 10:30AM EST so they say . So are you going to upgrade the LAD to Leopard too?

If I get around to it, been a busy year at Uni.

It's nice, I started another thread where I'm basically bloggin stuff as I find it.

FedEx just came (9:15 a.m.). I will be installing in a minute or two.

Cool box Apple!

Hate do be a downer, but the more I use it the more hilarious I find it that you all are getting so excited. Maybe I'd be more impressed if I actually used Mail, Safari, iPhoto...whatever. The Finder sure is no big deal. Ooooh there's a glowing blob under running apps in the dock instead of a black triangle. Ooooh there's a stack with a mess of icons instead of a handy hierarchical menu...wait, that's no good. Oooooh you can now see through the menubar so the green at the top of my desktop picture makes the bar itself look a funny gray/green shade that doesn't match the other apps I have open and the horizontal blue M|LF bars almost look like selections...trippy.

I've not given up this cat yet. I'll have more time to play when I don't have real work to do. I promise to give it a fair shot. Back to 10.3 for now

(oh and can somebody confirm my Spotlight complaints when you get a chance?)

I use Mail and all of the iLife apps. I like the new Leopard look as well.
I have been on the edge since 8:00AM EST waiting for Leopard. It's now 15 minutes to 1:00pm. They said it would be here by 10:30 every time I hear a car or truck go by I look out the window.

You should call FedEx. They are usually very serious when something is scheduled by 10:30. That means it is shipped via FedEx priority air, which the customer (Apple) paid extra for. Call those bitches up. Mine was delivered at 9:25am

Also it says its "On FedEx vehicle for delivery"
