I think you can go into a Apple Store with a blank CD-R... they will let you burn a copy.

I'm not 100% about that...

so here i am on cable, so i could care less about how much there is to download. good job on apple's behalf for all the dialup users, with offering it on cd.

but. i am confused. is this update going to be offered on software update? if not, i will place my order today, but i am not in the mood to drop $30, especially since i just bought a digital camera yesterday

Of course there will be a download. There is also a pattern emerging here. Update the core 10.X.Y to a point were that specific OS is bug free and than move to the next OS. In fact, we are still running 10.1.5 on some machines and it is a good OS.
Yes, I know I could buy a PC, but why?

Yep this disk better be an 'option' I live in the UK the last 'free' update cd wasn't available anyware near me. Big updates is one of the reasons for me shelling out the �25 per month for cable.

It says right on the ordering page that it is also available via software update.
I suspect we should see it sometime today.

It's a typo folks!
In the other languages it says 10.2.4 CD.
Sorry to dissappoint you

We will have to wait a little longer for 10.2.5.

The feature set is is different to that listed for 10.2.4. And how do you explain the missing KB article. I don't think it is a typo, the other stores just haven't updated yet.

I checked out the Apple Store UK page and this is what it says:

"Mac OS X 10.2.4 Update CD
�13.99
The Mac OS X v10.2.4 Update CD includes the Delta and Combined software updates to Mac OS X v10.2. The 10.2.4 update delivers enhanced functionality and improved reliability for the applications, utilities, and technologies of Mac OS X."

Either you people in the US are a little ahead of the rest of the world (no specfiic reference to the situation in the Gulf intended) or it is, indeed, a typo.....

Apple is notorious for releasing these "big" updates after 5:00 PM their time...
