Even customers who ordered Tiger on Thursday (before 2 PM Pacific) will be getting theirs on Friday.
It's been a little hectic around the office.
I am actually rather pised at apple. I bought it back in March, and was PROMISED I would get it BY today. Heres what Fedex says at 6:34PM EDT (past last delivery time of the day)
