This might not happen to many of you, but it sure happened to me, but if you’re buying a new Mac for the holidays read up. Recently I purchased an Apple Mac mini from my local Apple Store. I opened it, plugged it in, and to my dismay, the only OS installed and available was Mac OS X Tiger. I was sad not to see Leopard anywhere. I packed it back into the box, and went back to the Apple Store. One of the employees pulled out another Mac mini, and to our surprise, it also had Mac OS X Tiger only. Finally, I just asked her to bring me a 2.0GHz Mac mini, hoping that batch was not outdated, and I was right. What’s interesting is that I ended up driving back to the store, and exchanging an outdated Mac mini for a more expensive ($200 more), updated Mac mini, Apple wins. I guess I win as well, since I have an awesome entertainment system which I will be writing about soon.

Odd… I hadn’t seen anything from this blog in my RSS reader in months, and then today a bunch of entries (including this one) all popped up at once.
Anyway, I bought an iMac last November that came with Tiger pre-installed, but there was a Leopard DVD in the box for me to immediately install. I completely re-partitioned and re-formatted the hard drive so I could install it fresh, and then I was up and running. Are you sure that the mini you bought at first didn’t come with a Leopard disc?
