Jaguar Pizza and Other Nerdy Things 59
Snaggy writes "Nitrozac and I wanted to celebrate the release of Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar in geeky style, so we designed the ultimate Jaguar pizza! Here's what we did, and how you can make one too...
The Jaguar Genius Pizza! enJoy!" If you are the kind of person who thinks this is a good idea, you'll probably want to go to "100 Minutes of Jaguar" tonight at 10:20 p.m., at an Apple Store near you. I'm going.

If you bought 10.1 more than a couple of months ago (or didn't actually buy it), you have to buy the full package. I've seen it various prices, but if you qualify for an educational discount, that's the best way to go, as the full package only costs $69.

Updates are $20 for computers bought between July 17 and August 24; getting the upgrade is a bit tricky since the upgrade form is accessible only via a tab that is almost unreadable thanks to the !@#$@#$ Jaguar skin "theme" on the OS X pages at www.apple.com.
For computers bought on or after August 24, things could get sticky. At our local (college) computer store, you might not get Jaguar with hardware sold after August 24, and the store manager types are really pissed that the customer in this case has to do ther upgrade drill mentioned above, rather than having something like the 10.1 upgrade "sleeve" to hand out with the new hardware. If Apple has any brains, they will start doing something like that in all sales locations, otherwise they could get a ton of hardware ordered in early August returned.
On a vaguely related note, my dual 1GHz PowerMac, which was ordered on 8/13 and quoted to ship in 3-5 business days took 8 business days to get to shipping (Jaguar will be pre-loaded). This may or may not be an early indication that deliveries could be slow on this hardware, although the online Apple Store never updated the availability of this hardware on the web site.

Will be? Are you still waiting for yours? I haunted the local CompuUSA for a mere three days until they got their second shipment in (one day late). The 1gig I got had Jaguar loaded.
I wonder if the "update" is a regular boxed version. Then I could sell it on ebay. Heh. Except I don't want to bother. And it would probably be the "coupon version" anyhow.
Not like it's anything special for me; I've been running it for almost two weeks on my Powerbook. (I downloaded 6C115 from the developer site.) I've only restarted three times, and the third was to activate the Wacom drivers I installed so I could try Ink.

A careful reading of my post does suggest that I am still waiting, since the box only just got *to* shipping (i.e., FedEx ground). I've now got a compulsive tick where I check its shipping status within Fedex every hour or so. It departed the FedEx sort facility in Sacramento on 08/24/2002 at 04:47. Everybody claims it will have Jaguar pre-loaded.
I'm not really sure how they're doing this. I have to send in for the update for some other recently arriving boxes. The local store here doesn't seem to think that they will end up playing any role in this. (Which is part of the thing that pisses them off, since they *know* that some people will just bypass them for the on-line Apple Store for their current stock that does not ship with Jaguar today. It's basically a college bookstore place, and they had to pre-order their dozens of iBooks and and PowerBooks to have stock on hand for the big Fall rush, and it's looking a lot like dead inventory at the moment due to the OS update fiasco.)

It was very yummy. They had a couple of Boston locations, and quite a few others.
However, I find the idea of olives on my pizza to be repugnant.

It was Ruggles in Harvard Square.
They had cheddar cheese on top of a whole wheat crust and some other bizarre toppings too.
I personally preferred Mr. & Mrs. ___ for burgers,
, Wei Ta for chinese, and Iruna for Spanish, esp. their garlic soup and their white sangria. And Toscanini's for ice cream... mmm... ginger snap molasses ice cream... mmm...
And the Orson Welles theater. And the Harvard Square cinema before it became a Star cinema, etc.

To make it worse, a good friend of mine is in NYC with his iBook and DV cam. He'll probably be popping along to the SoHo store sometime this weekend to buy an iPod...

They didn't throw the doors up until 10:20pm, despite the size of the line. I didn't get in the door until 10:50. I paused long enough to get my entries into the "win an iMac" and "win an eMac" contests, then got in line. I got out of there at 11:57pm.
I literally feel like I just ran a marathon. (I've run them before, so I can compare.) There was nothing particularly exciting about the festivities other than the bizarre questions about the line. (Some old woman asked if it was "the line to get out of the mall." Yeah, lady, it's capitalism at gunpoint...if they find out you spent less than $100, they send you back in to the mall until you have.)
Anyway, it was nothing more than kibbitzing with a bunch of other Mac users, your feet getting tired, and trying to avoid a claustrophobia attack.
But I was there. And I got Jaguar. So it wasn't all bad.
Oh yeah, and it was 10% off everything in the store if you bought Jaguar.

Nothing Wrong with Chedder on pizza (Score:1)
There is nothing wrong with Cheddar on a pizza as long as the Chedder is mixed with Mozerella or a similar cheese as Chedder won't melt properly elsewise on the pizza.
I normally put some chidder on my pizza along with the mozzerlla when I make it.
