Jaguar Pizza and Other Nerdy Things

Snaggy writes "Nitrozac and I wanted to celebrate the release of Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar in geeky style, so we designed the ultimate Jaguar pizza! Here's what we did, and how you can make one too... The Jaguar Genius Pizza! enJoy!" If you are the kind of person who thinks this is a good idea, you'll probably want to go to "100 Minutes of Jaguar" tonight at 10:20 p.m., at an Apple Store near you. I'm going.

    Well that depends. If you bought 10.1 (either by itself or on a new computer) within the past month or two, you can get an upgrade either for free or for $20 - I'm not quite sure - either way, they mail you a CD, you can't download it.

    If you bought 10.1 more than a couple of months ago (or didn't actually buy it), you have to buy the full package. I've seen it various prices, but if you qualify for an educational discount, that's the best way to go, as the full package only costs $69.

    You didn't miss much, dude. I just got back from the Mall of America fiesta. I got there an hour early, and the line already stretched a quarter of the way around the mall...by 10pm, it stretched fully to the opposite enterance (the Apple store is right by the south enterance, first floor).

    They didn't throw the doors up until 10:20pm, despite the size of the line. I didn't get in the door until 10:50. I paused long enough to get my entries into the "win an iMac" and "win an eMac" contests, then got in line. I got out of there at 11:57pm.

    I literally feel like I just ran a marathon. (I've run them before, so I can compare.) There was nothing particularly exciting about the festivities other than the bizarre questions about the line. (Some old woman asked if it was "the line to get out of the mall." Yeah, lady, it's capitalism at gunpoint...if they find out you spent less than $100, they send you back in to the mall until you have.)

    Anyway, it was nothing more than kibbitzing with a bunch of other Mac users, your feet getting tired, and trying to avoid a claustrophobia attack.

    But I was there. And I got Jaguar. So it wasn't all bad. :-)

    Oh yeah, and it was 10% off everything in the store if you bought Jaguar.
