I pre-ordered the Panther release of OS X, which is to be released today. Apple Stores are having a release special from 8:00-12:00pm, which is fine, but I'm not into the crowd thing (although you never know, I may go). Anyway, I had wondered whether Apple would ship Panther in such a way that those of us who pre-ordered it would get it on release day. The answer is yes. I had an email from Apple this morning letting me know Panther had been shipped via FedEx overnight. I checked on fedex.com, and indeed my package is in Denver this morning. Apple Rocks!
