Cosmic Convergence?
TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog) points out that the Hitchhiker's Guide movie and Apple's Tiger are being released on the same day.
Is it merely coincidence that Apple's Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") is being released the same day that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy opens "wide" at a theater near you?
Douglas Adams was a very vocal Mac advocate, so it would be a fitting tribute to have the dates of these two events coincide, but what does Steve think of D.N.A?
I suppose there could be more to this if Tiger wass named 10.4.2 or 10.4(2), but either way, a good day all around.

Bummer the line from the radio/ book/ TV show is "Beware the leopard" (re: sign outside the 'office' where the by-pass plans are on display)
are you sure it was leopard? i thought it was 'liger'.
totally.
I've heard that people who've purchased Macs in the past month or so aren't being offered a free upgrade to Tiger. Maybe a discount... And other people who bought Macs just before Apple started the aggressive marketing campaign weren't even told about the upgrade. You guys hear about this?
