Well, although Mac OS X 10.3 Panther is being officially released today, I don't leave anywhere near an Apple Store, so I don't get to take part in the goodness of "Panther Night".
I do have a CompUSA in my city, but they aren't sure they're getting any copies today or not (at least, when I called last night). I'll still give them a try, and there are a few other Mac-tolerant shops around town I could try as well.
I wasn't able to pre-order for a variety of reasons (number one being that I just plain forgot--D'OH!). But, I'm trying to get my hands on a copy as soon as possible for a madhouse testing session of all my software to make sure Panther-compatability is something I can claim, of if I need to go on a madhouse debugging session. I don't forsee any problems, but you never know.
At any rate, this release has me more excited than did Jaguar. I'm not really sure why (I haven't really thought that far about it), but I can't wait to try it out (at least on my testing machine).
