Leopard discount from Amazon

Posted by & filed under music, the internet, and life.

Mac OS X LeopardAll of you folks salivating over Leopard, good news, you can now get it at a $20 discount by pre-ordering it from Amazon. The ship date will be October 26.

I learned about this via Daring Fireball. If you’d like DF to get his Amazon kickback, use his associate link.

If you’d like to benefit Jessibird instead, use her associate link.

Personally I’m holding off, at least until all my favorite shareware is compatible. How about you?

    I need to survey and get back to you on that ;-) I’m assuming there is something since I use dozens.

    Truth is, I don’t need much motivation to postpone, since I’m not that excited about any one feature. But all the little improvements do seem nice.

    My shareware rundown:

    Leopard-compatible already, yay:
    LaunchBar
    VLC
    GraphicConverter
    Soho Notes
    AudioHijack Pro
    iShowU
    LetterBox

    Leopard compatibility unknown:
    These are really important to me:
    CheckBook
    SuperDuper
    OnMyCommand
    ServiceScrubber
    WordService
    MenuCalendarClock iCal
    NetNewsWire (Lite or full)
    Transmit
    Unison
    Twitterific
    TextWrangler
    iVolume
    iScrobbler
    Flip4Mac
    Solitaire Till Dawn

    These are nice but I could live without:
    Onyx
    Growl
    The UnArchiver
    Witch
    SharePoints

    I’ve googled a while but I think it’s still early to see much information, or compatibility lists, though one Leopard tester put up a list of his stuff and what he knows about it on http://www.musingsfrommars.org/building-leopard/.

    I just pre-ordered Leopard. I couldn’t pass up Amazon’s deal. But I’ll hold off on installing it until the first maintenance upgrade and/or my beloved shareware is compatible.
