#49387 — Mavericks update

Please confirm:

Since I just bought this iMac (even if a lowly late 2012 refurb from 
Apple) I assume I'll be eligible for a free Mavericks OS update.

But I also assume that that update is not applicable to my other 3 Macs?

So I might as well just buy the upgrade license and apply same to all 4 
Macs.

(PS: Golden Master went out to developers yesterday so we should see it 
by the end of the month ...).

Why not wait until it's released, and find out?

If Mavericks comes out within 14 days of your purchase, I think (based on past upgrades) Mavericks will be free for you. Maybe.

I am not positive they did that with 10.8, since it was so cheap (it
would have been $3 per computer for me had I had to buy it).

10.8 was released on July 25.  People who'd bought computers as early 
as June 10 got the free upgrade.

Oh.  You're right.  Let's talk about women who think they were shot in 
their driveway instead.

Nah, let others talk about it.  In the meantime we can talk about Mac OS X 
10.10, reportedly codenamed "Syrah" internally.

Really? That seems like an odd name.

Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never
doubted it for a second.

It's a type of wine.  The internal code name for Mavericks was "Cabernet", 
which is another kind of wine.

I hear some people make juice from grapes and can even (get this) 
ferment the juice into wine and then distill the leavings into spirits!

I drink Guinness and tequila. Not much of a wine drinker.

Yep, but as with most things, it tastes much better in the original
form (inside the grape) before some fool mucks about with it.  :-)

Some people even stupidly leave the grapes out in the sun until they go
all shrivelled and disgusting ... and then they eat them?! Someone in
California even managed to teach these wrinkly things to sing.  ;-)

One of the earliest forms of food preservation and storage.  Early high 
tech. ca. 10000 BCE - and likely earlier.

You have to wonder how many of those early "scientists" were killed
after trying to eat various things they left outside in the sun for
days / weeks to go bad.   ;-)

Guess what grape that wine is made from.  <g>
