Follow the link and READ that it says you'll be emailed a special webpage address on Friday that can only be used 15 times.

Every bit of detail you could ever want is on that page I posted.

Lock this thread please.

Whoa buddy. What if I want to talk about the tutorials some more? Oh, and links to the Apple store time out... but you knew that

Personally, I wonder how long the tutorial will be, and if it will actually offer new tidbits, or just give examples of stuff that is already on the web site.

Since my link died out I'll just post the information directly from the page

How do I access the seminar?
When you purchase Tiger from the online Apple Store or by phone, we will send you an email, inviting you to view the seminar. The email will contain a personal web link for you to access the seminar. Please make sure you have Tiger installed on your Mac before accessing it. The seminar streams over the Internet as a QuickTime movie, so you can enjoy it at home, work, or wirelessly at your local Internet hotspot. The seminar will open and start playing in a new QuickTime Player window.

How long will I have to view the seminar?
The seminar will be available for viewing from April 29, 2005 to June 11, 2005.

How long is the seminar?
The seminar is approximately 30 minutes from beginning to end.

Can I replay the seminar?
Absolutely. If you are unable to watch the entire seminar in one viewing or simply wish to view it again, just use your personal web link to play it again. Your personal web link permits you to access the seminar up to 15 times. Rights to view the content are limited to your personal use only, and your personal web link is not to be distributed, copied, or posted.

Can I save parts of the seminar to view later?
No. The seminar is Apple property and cannot be saved, but you do have the option to access the seminar up to 15 times through your personal web link if you need a refresher. Additionally, the seminar is chapter-based, so if you’d like to jump to a particular feature or subject, you can do that by clicking on the chapter on the right side of your browser window.

What's with the restricted access? One would think this is something Apple would want everyone to watch. More knowledge to customers = fewer support calls to Apple.

I think it's a way to drive sales through their online store, which is cheaper for them than their retail stores, and they don't have to sell it wholesale to other retailers like amazon or MacMall, etc.

Exactly, I could have driven a hour to a Apple Store(I have 2 actually, each an hour away each in opposite directions from my house) and wait till 6pm to get it or I could order it online with free shipping and the online seminar and have it at 10am when the delivery guy shows up.

Plus I'm a college student so I got the discount and I'll be done with the class for the day.

I cannot wait to dive into it and even this seminar thing turns out to be a little lame I'll still have my copy early in the day and delivered to my door.

It mentions finding uses for automator which I am really interested in so I'm sure I'll benefit from it in some area. So I'm sure someone will post impressions of it or in depth details and if no one does I'll give my 2 cents.
