Hooray! Leopard leaps over the pond! I'd just written an article bad-mouthing Apple for its somewhat spotty global presence (no official shop here in Portugal, no online-store and they won't post here from the UK even if I use my UK cards to buy stuff!) since it seemed that I wouldn't be able to get my sticky mitts on a copy of Leopard for a while. Learn why after the jump......
The semi-official but tiny "Apple Centre" in Lisbon had even emailed to say it would be a few weeks ... but after just checking their web page, and a quick phone call... it seems they have copies in stock! I can join the real-time Leopard excitement! Cool!
Here 'tis, all nicely labelled in Portuguese. €120 to see yourself reflected in those 4 shiny galactic arms on the front (I know... I know... sorry!). I'll write a little something later about how smoothly this next bit goes.
Anyone else out there in one of Apple's less favourite countries managed to snag a copy yet? Let me know how it goes!
UPDATE:
