Apple reminds us that the "Night of Panther" kicks off at 8:00pm on October 24th.

All 65 Apple retail stores will host Night of the Panther kick-off events with free gifts, great savings, theater demos and a chance to win a Mac.

Of interest, at last year's Jaguar (10.2) launch Event, Apple had an unadvertised 10% off promotion at Apple Stores.

Panther is also available from mail order retailers for as low as $99.95 after rebate..

We've opened a new Panther Mac OS X Forum for questions and discussions arising about the new version of Apple's Operating System.
