Re: 10.4 for recent purchases

To the Magnet Group Internal Communication:

TSW will have Tiger available for all customers that purchased a Mac
computer from TSW only on or after Tiger launch date of April 12,
2005 (original purchase receipt required for pickup -- delivery is
not an option for these back-dated units).

We are hoping to have these copies available starting 6pm on Friday,
April 29 during a special Tiger in-store event from 6-8pm, 41
University Hall. I will keep you updated on availability.

Normal hours of operation are 9am - 4pm, Monday through Thursday, and
Friday 9am-12 noon (closed the last Friday of each month).

Hopefully this information helps you in planning.
