Tiger Story

Well… OSX 10.4 came out on Friday, and having ordered it 9 days previous I was excited for the release. I had planned for this post to be about my new Mac expierence in Tiger, but that is not the case. What is the case is that I didn’t get Tiger and on top of that I consistantly got lied to from Apple customer support about me getting Tiger on Friday. To make a long story not so long I didn’t have a tracking number until Friday and then it said I wouldn’t get Tiger til Tues. and then I get lies like this: “Oh you should get it before 6:00 PM today” and “Don’t worry about it, we have gotten numerous calls from many people with the same problem and they got their copies today” Unbelievable… I have had nothing but good expierences with Apple up until this point and it is disappointing that this is the way it went (because I could have gotten a copy at the Apple store in Des Moines but I wasn’t going to get my employee discount and my copy was already being shipped to me). Bottom line, I am venting and this is the best way I know how. In the end, I was compensated for my discontent with $20 but there is no way you are going to give me my weekend back so my Tiger expierence has started off poorly. Oh well, I will just have to wait another 2 days for Dashboard, Spotlight, and the new Quicktime 7.
