I just realised this date is no good. It clashes with the opening of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Apple, can we re-schedule?

No indication if Tiger will be a free/low-cost upgrade for Mac mini purchasers!

Or even if there's a few weeks/months period for a free/low-cost upgrade!!

This also means NO NEW PRODUCTS for AT LEAST 3 weeks!!!

More exclamation points!!!!

No Tiger announcement for Canadians!!!!!

The "Tiger Frequently Asked Questions" link doesn't work!!!!!!
