I can feel it. It’s so very close, yet not there yet. On Friday, October 26th, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will be in my hands, ready to be installed. While that may be a celebration in its own right, Apple is going on the safe side by hosting Leopard launch parties in all its retail stores across the country.
Yeah, you heard me right. If you want to delay the moment of truth or you’re going to buy the OS in a physical store anyway, Apple Stores will be having Leopard launch events from 6-10 PM on Friday. This means test drives, demos, and of course, free T-shirts for the first 500 guests. Considering that normally the only way to get Apple-branded tees straight from the source is at the Company Store in Cupertino, this may be worth showing up period.
But, whether or not you decide to show up at an Apple Store, Friday’s gonna be one crazy, fun, and 300+ features-packed night.
