Now that it's suddenly much more important to get it ASAP, I went ahead and
ordered Panther. Since it's still
somewhat early in the game, I should be one of the many lucky people to get
it delivered on the evening of the 24th, so I won't have to fight my way into
and out of the new Cleveland Apple retail store which is rumored to be opening
that night.
I know what you are thinking: only a total geek would think that getting a
new operating system makes for an exciting Friday night. Don't worry, I'm not
that much of a geek.
Ok, yes, I am that much of a geek. Deal with it.

The habit of skipping disk image checksums is a very bad one to get into...
it really comes back to bite you when you, say, install a system update
from a corrupt disk image and hose your system to the point that it won't
boot.
On the bright side, I have another bootable partition I use for beta
testing, so I still have a totally usable computer, making this
just a minor annoyance instead of a colossal headache. And on the really
bright side, Panther is almost here—and this vastly simplifies the
decision of whether or not to do a totally clean install of Panther.
