Apparently this isn't the 24th. From what I got from my purchase inquires and other responses, Apple announces a date some time after the official release. Anyone know how long after the official release (based on past releases) do they pre-burn Panther on the drives and come with Panther restore CDs?

I ordered a CTO'd powerbook yesterday and was thinking it would come with Panther burned-in (or at least the update CD). Neither seem to be the case but I can't wait any longer.

If a group of mimes are miming a forest and one falls down, does he make a sound?

I would expect that once panther is released, any machine built from that point on will have Panther installed.

After talking to the guys at the Apple Store about this they said expect a couple of weeks.
