[Tom]

Nope, september.

 

[Revels]

 

[Millsy]

^^wtf?? site says september on it?

you can still submit the upgrade i think and it will ship when its released.

 

[sneeks]

Nope, september.

The Apple Store was quoting Aug 28th.

 

[matt|H]

As per all the rumour sites.. it DID say 28th and they changed it to September.

 

[sneeks]

The 28th has been mentioned several times recently and has now appeared on the Apple site twice this week. Maybe the site update launched earlier than it should have and was quickly changed again.

Apple charged me for it yesterday, I've just checked my bank account.

 

[sneeks]

Apple Online Store is down

 

[Revels]

It's out friday.

 

[sneeks]

Yeah now confirmed on the Apple Store.

TWENTYFAAAAVVVVPPPAAAAANNNDDD!!

WTF!

(Ordered)

 

[Revels]

I'm ordering tomorrow.

I asked Apple Chat about the family pack but apparently you have to use them in the same location.

Is he lying?

 

[sneeks]

The Family Pack is meant to be used for Macs in the same household but that can be ignored in the same way that people install the Single User version on several Macs

About the Family Pack

The Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labelled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that household. By “household” we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home, or condominium, including students who are primary residents of that household but reside at a separate on-campus location. This licence does not extend to business or commercial users.

It's been released now and is available.

We have 350 copies due in on Thursday so depending on what time they arrive we may have them available to take away from Guildford shop same day and all other branches on Friday.

http://www.cancomuk.com BTW - currently updating the website to show new products.

I know I can Google this. I know I can search, but since spamming GC is now actually illegal, and I'm waiting for a pan of water to boil so I can cook rice;

1/ Is usenet easy and reliable on a Mac?
2/ Is there a good PS3 media server available for Mac?

I fancy a Sony AW 18" laptop, but I also fancy a MBP.

 

[Revels]

1/ No idea.
2/ Plex.

 

[sneeks]

1/ No problems with usenet access on my Macs.

 

[Schweppy]

Just got a delivery report from Apple saying its been shipped.

 

[Munson]

Danke.

I'll definitely be considering a MBP then when I upgrade this POS.

 

[sneeks]

My copy was shipped at 2am this morning but as it's coming from Holland I very much doubt it'll be here tomorrow

 

[Revels]

Nooo Why do they come from Holland?

Is that where everything comes from?

 

[Tom]

Im going away for the weekend, so hopefully it wont turn up.

 

[Munson]

Nooo Why do they come from Holland?

All the good stuff, yeah.

 

[Rasclart]

hahaha Tom was wrong. Happens a lot recently

I went for the Family pack still not shipped Pffffffft

 

[Darren S]

Good pricing for an OS that. Shame that MS don't take notice. :dapprove:

D.

 

[///AMG]

Just got a delivery report from Apple saying its been shipped.

Yup me too

 

[matt|H]

Believe it comes from Holland to Ireland then over to UK. No idea where it comes from before that though...

 

[Revels]

Anyones arrived yet?

 

[Schweppy]

Anyones arrived yet?

Postie hasnt been yet but i'll let u know as soon as he does.

 

[sneeks]

My shipment status says it was shipped from Holland directly to Glasgow but no tracking details of where it is. I'm not sure if it's a tracked and signed for service or just standard post.

 

[Schweppy]

just been online...

Mine says its now with local postal service and will take 5-10 days.

Estimated delivery 2nd September.

WTF!

 

[sneeks]

Where did you find those details? On the Apple order status?

 

[Rasclart]

Mine has just arrived via TNT

 

[sneeks]

Did you have to sign for it and was there a tracking code on the box which matches anything on the Apple order screen?

 

[Rasclart]

Yeah signed for with TNT. It came in a Jiffy bag. This is through a business account it gave the option to Upgrade shipping for like £5.00 + VAT for Next Day

 

[Schweppy]

Where did you find those details? On the Apple order status?

Just clicked on the order number within the link in the email apple sent me.

 

[Revels]

Why didn't you just get yours from work?
