I just got an email from Apple saying my Student ADC Monthly Mailing packet just shipped today via US Standard Meal as it usually does and it includes the full retail version of Panther! I went ahead and got the $20 upgrade also, not knowing exactly when this (or if it even would) come, but now I'll have the upgrade & a full install. Here's an exact quote from the email:
"CONTENTS OF NOVEMBER 2003 MAILING
-------------------------------------
[1] Mac OS X 10.3 Panther and Xcode Tools
The Mac OS X 10.3 set is a 4-disc package that includes Install
Discs 1, 2, and 3, and Xcode Tools Version 1.0. These discs are the
same as those included in retail kits."
SWEET!
Anyone else get this email yet?
