Pre-order OS 10.5 Leopard for only $119.99!

ByMike Moffit

We are now taking pre-orders for OS 10.5, Apple’s next generation operating system. This will be the biggest upgrade ever for OS X, with over 300 innovations. For a limited time we’re offering Leopard for $119.99 – that’s $10 less than we (or Apple) is charging for Tiger.

Leopard is due to ship sometime in October, but Apple has not yet set the final date. When we take your order, we will NOT charge your card until Leopard is actually ready to ship. Also, if Apple pushes Leopard back over a month, we’ll call you to make sure you want to proceed with your order.

Final OS 10.5 system requirements are not set. However, according to Wikipedia, the pre-release documentation states the following system requirements:
– A G4 (800 MHz or faster), G5- or Intel-based Mac – A DVD drive – At least 512 MB RAM – 7 GB of hard disk space – 12 GB if Xcode is also installed7 – The latest Firmware – FireWire Ports

Note that the system requirements are essentially the same as for Tiger, the current Apple OS.

You can pre-order Leopard by clicking here.

In the coming weeks, we’ll discuss what steps you can take to make upgrading as fast, safe, and easy as possible.

  • VT Tax Holiday Is This Saturday, March 6!

    Vermont is having a sales tax holiday this Saturday, March 6! There will be no sales tax on items that cost $2,000 or less. This could save you some serious dough if you’re upgrading your own computer, your family’s Macs, or just want to grab some fun gadgets. The savings can add up, as sales tax in Vermont is 6%, and even 7% in a couple of towns (South Burlington, Williston).

    We’re celebrating with a 24-hour sales event at our South Burlington retail store. The store will open at 12:01 AM and close at 11:59 PM. Our Waitsfield store will be open with regular business hours on Saturday, we’ll have additional telephone coverage, and our warehouse will be busy packing orders all day.

    We’ll be posting semi-delirious midnight tweets and Facebook updates from our Burlington store all night long. Follow us on Twitter as hellosmalldog or friend us on Facebook
