Hi Richard, Late reply, but I just wanted to point out that I don't ever remember Apple giving out free copies of OS X like that. The OS up-to-date program was always a heavily-discounted price for a copy of the new OS for computers purchased a certain amount of time before the OS release date (I think with both Panther and Tiger it was two weeks before the official release date). If I remember correctly as well, the price was in the area of $10-20, throw in a couple dollars for shipping. For computers purchased at the retail Apple stores on or after the date that still had the old OSs installed on them, I think they gave out a free copy of the OS...or charged you that very minimal price for the newer OS.
Apple also does this with other software, most recently iLife 2008 at $10 for computers that came with 2006, purchased on or after a certain date. cheers, jane On 8/7/07, Richard Gardenhire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > if the computer was purchased in october, 2007, prior to the release of > leopard, you will receive an update to your new computer; otherwise, > you'll have to purchase the new CD.
