I was gladdened this morning to read that Apple has finally announced the release date for MacOS X 10.4, code-named "Tiger". I was planning on just going to the Apple store on release day in order to get my copy, but I saw that Apple.com is offering free shipping, with the OS arriving on release day. Since all I wanted was to have it as soon as possible, ordering online seemed like a decent way to go. Plus, I can get a corporate discount via EDS (which is odd, considering EDS despises anything that isn't Windows), so I ordered it for $107.10. Not a huge savings, but every little bit helps. Especially since I owed the government $120 on for my 2004 taxes.
Now all I have to do is wait for April 29th. It's going to be tough.
