No, no sign of it here either. I did receive an aplogy and a new

I don't know what Apple Australia's position is on this, but in the
US those
promised Tiger by the 29th who didn't receive it also received an
email like
yours & were initially offered no compensation. However a large
number who
actually rang up and complained about it were offered as a bonus a
choice of
either iLife 5, iWorks or something similarly priced for free to
make up for
the inconvenience. I've heard a lot of country Australia including
many
parts of WA missed out so it may be worth seeing what Apple's
reaction is to
offering similar compensation.

You will be very lucky if you do get some sort of compensation <looks
out window for airbourne pork>. It is no different from anyone who
bought a Mac thinking they could order photos and books through
iPhoto (through Apple), those who waited 3+ months for the original
17" Powerbook (even though they were supposed to ship within a month
of announcement), those who bought Macs to buy music through iTMS,
thinking worldwide actually meant more than 10 countries :-)
Come on. Spare a thought for the other 90% of the computing world
who have waited <insert years here> for Longhorn to finally be on the
shelf ;-) And I have never had an up-to-date program *ever* be on
time. You guys are lucky it is only a week after Tiger was
released. In the past the word week has been plural..... :-)
Its not if 10.3.9 was going to self destruct on the 29th!
*By the way - this is all in good humour. When the G4 400s first
came out, I bought one through a reseller staff program and had to
wait 3 months before I got one. Apple had to satisfy regular
customers first. So I know how you guys feel!*
Seeya
Rod!
