If you're planning to buy a Mac, wait a week and a half so you get it with the new OS.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Ok, turns out if you bought one after 10/1 that shipped with 10.4, you can get 10.5 for $9.95 (instead of $129) http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/

the 26th...that's practically November. Oh well, i guess i'll hold out for 10 more days. Any clues on whether there will be hardware upgrades on the units or just strictly the new OS

I haven't seen anything about hardware recently, other than rumors of some sort of Mac mini replacement. The iMac was just refreshed in August, so there won't be anything there. Though my guess is that if there's something radical, it'll be unveiled at Macworld in January.

What's Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? Is it like Windows Vista, the super cool operating system from Microsoft? Evil grin

"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant."

Apparently Microsoft is letting people who bought computers with Vista installed on them downgrade to XP or 2000 since Vista has not really lived up to expectations but yet somehow has slowed the operating system down even more. More pain, no gain? OS X.5 even runs on a lightweight iPod...

Well, the ol' Apple rumor mill is picking up steam. Engadget reports that a new laptop will be unveiled to coincide with the release. Personally, I'm calling BS on this one, but if it's true, watch for it next Tuesday, as that will be a few days before Leopard, and most new product releases are on Tuesdays.

If you can't wait...9.95 after rebate Leopard Mac OS X with the purchase of select hardware. Also, fatwallet has a 1.5% discount at MacMall. modal (who is waiting for his 42" wall mountable iMac) Oops didn't notice Jeff's earlier post!

There's nothing like offering a free downgrade. I love it when they do that. Confused

I got the email yesterday that I can upgrade to Leopard for $69 through my work. Yes. Yes. Yes.

I think I'll wait for v10.5.1, for the inevitable bug fixes...

Any reviews ? anybody bought new macs ? Is it pre-loaded with Leopard or does it come with upgrade discs ? I was ready to buy a new Imac but had a little financial roadblock.
