Buying Tiger
------------
As with past releases of Mac OS X, the Campus Computer Store (TSW)
will be offering discounted pricing on Mac OS X 10.4 for eligible
campus purchasers:
In addition, more significantly discounted pricing for departmental
purchases of licenses and media will also be available. TSW's Kin
Jung has told us that he will be sending an announcement regarding
that pricing to this list at a later date.
Mac OS X 10.4 for workstations ships in retail packaging only on
DVD media. If your Mac's optical drive doesn't read DVDs and you
need CD-ROMs instead, there is a $9.95 media exchange offer. A form
for requesting this offer, in PDF-format, is linked from the right
side of the 'how to upgrade' page, above.
Finally, customers who purchase Macintosh computers today are
eligible for a reduced price upgrade to Tiger, as described at:
