Customers who purchased Mac OSX 10.2 or a new system running it on or after 10/8 can upgrade for a s&h fee of $19.95 so I would say no since today is 10/8

Um how about Apple....seems pretty reliable to me. In case you still don't believe it, try visiting Apple.com before you cast doubt

Here's the official press release if anyone wants to see it...

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2003/oct/08panther.html

I'll have to wait to read the reviews and reports. There is a little thing on the Apple site...at the very bottom of the order page that states...."UPGRADE PROCESSOR CARDS NOT SUPPORTED".

Though, I am exited about the release of PANTHER.....I have to wait and see if this statement is true or not. My PANTHER UPGRADE may have to wait until Apple makes some lower end DUAL G5s....like a 1.6ghz DUAL.

what will it cost with a student discount for an upgrade

i got my powerbook in july so i know i dont get it for 20 bucks but is it still 130 bucks for a computer with jaguar already?
