Apple Sets Oct. 24th Release For Mac OS X 10.3

Posted by timothy on from the unadulterated-press-release dept.

dricci writes "Yahoo! has posted a press release from Apple, regarding the release date of the next major Mac OS X update, 10.3 ('Panther'). The update will be available 8:00 p.m. on October 24th at Apple Retail Stores and Authorized Resellers for $129.00 US (Family Pack for up to 5 users will be $199). Pretty much the same pricing structure they had for Jaguar. It looks like 'old world' Beige G3 support has been discontinued -- the update requires a Mac with built in USB."

    You live in Canada, right?

    Why don't you move a bit further south? Let's say Florida: our very own tropical paradise state. Sunshine, friendly people and lots of fun!

    After waiting for about 2.5 months, my shiny 1.6GHz G5 system finally turned up...and 6 days later was back in its box, being returned to Apple Australia as it was highly unstable, crashing and freezing constantly. Since I've been quoted '2 to 3 weeks' (which in Apple speak means 4 to 6) as the lead time for a replacement G5 system to be built, I should be able to get Panther included for free as a nice little unintentional bonus from Apple.

    Of course, I will have been waiting for so long by that stage that the 1.6GHz G5 will be on the verge of being discontinued...
